On friday, I hosted a post from Broke Professionals as part of a blog swap. Different members from the network paired up to post on each other’s blogs and discuss the topic of how to save money on everyday activities.

When you are cooking a meal or serving up some food, try to put only the amount you will eat on your plate – you can refrigerate any left overs and use them for another meal! Instead of buying ready meals and fast food, buy more fresh ingredients and cook fresh, healthy food. It’s both wasteful and costly!
