Anything you enjoy that can give you that little boost you need and keep you from becoming emotional because you need to eat. A quick trip to the grocery store is not only fun, but can save you money over dining out. Even doing this once or twice can save a good chunk of money, especially if it's a dinner out you're skipping.

They think that if they start being frugal, they will no longer get the opportunity to eat out, go to spas, travel, or even watch their favorite movie.

When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Everyone’s plate might look different, but you’ll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste. You’ll be thankful later.

Ask around, see if someone you know may have an extra of something they’re not using and don’t need so they’d be happy to give it to you. Eat out less. One of the biggest expenses you probably incur is eating out. The average person spends over $2,000 a year on eating out. Brown bag it to work.
