Car Eating Out Food Watches 
The Frugal Girl
OCTOBER 30, 2023
Somehow, I was watching a video of Korean YouTuber Maangchi making something she called a frugal Korean dish, which made me think that I probably should look for more frugal recipes to save money on expensive ingredients. And eating out wasn’t the exception for me then. We don’t eat out often, but I like to cook.

years with no car (and two small kids!). Limiting waste is what really drives most of the habits I have that would qualify as “frugal” – reducing/eliminating food waste, returning unneeded items, pursuing refunds, checking on warranties, repairing things, etc. I fell in love with pursuing a car-free life.

We wake up, stroll to the kitchen, sit in a chair, hop in the car to drive to work, sit in a chair at the office all day, go to lunch with the gang and sit in a chair, hop in the car to drive home, then sit in a chair to watch TV. We are bombarded with images of luscious looking food. Most families only had one car.

Ziploc bags You never know when you'll need to separate something from something else, but also when you want to take a bag of cookies with you or keep your wet bathing suit from getting your rental car seats soggy or have an emergency diaper situation. I don't go out for every meal if I can help it.

I had $29,000 in MBA student loans, $14,000 in credit cards, and $13,000 in a car loan. The inspiration to pay off my debt was watching my grandmother balance her checkbook. And I cut back on lifestyle – cooking food at home, taking the bus to work vs driving and paying for parking, etc. I will NEVER finance a car again.

Now is the time to watch every penny that you spend, so that you can purchase more in the same budget or even better, put that money in emergency funds. Eating out harms you in two ways. Do you watch a lot movies at the theater or rent a lot of movies through a mail order service? We know that times are tough.

Food/shopping. Fast food was rare. There wasn’t a restaurant on every corner and people didn’t eat out much. Most food at the grocery store came from the USA. Out of season produce, if available at all, was super expensive. Gasoline stations did not serve food, have coffee or provide bath rooms.
