Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle. For lunch, we usually pack a cooler with food each day that we are at the beach and eat out somewhere for lunch on the one day when we need a sun-break. Create A Budget. Thanks for reading.

If you can make healthy snacks available, and start them out as the norm, it is much easier to encourage good snacking habits.

When my monthly statement comes I look at it and am surprised at the stores and restaurants I used that participate in the program. Plus, when we reach 5,000 fans I'll be giving away a $50 Amazon gift card! I’ve been doing this for about 18 months now and I’m already up to $85. You never know where you might find savings.

Dining Out. We used to spend hundreds of dollars a month going out to eat at restaurants. In fact, there was a time that I rarely cooked over the weekends, because we ate out so often.

For the entire month of October, any regular footlong sandwich is just $5 at participating Subway restaurants. Subway Footlongs are a great way to save money and eat out when you’re on-the-run.

People opened their windows and used attic fans or sat in metal lawn chairs outside to cool off. There wasn’t a restaurant on every corner and people didn’t eat out much. Out of season produce, if available at all, was super expensive. Most of us did not have air conditioned homes. Fast food was rare.

I use them regularly when we eat out at restaurants, and I will not shop at a department store without one, but grocery coupons are completely different for me. Typically, I am not a big fan of shopping at multiple stores, but it might be worth a visit to your local discount outlets or “dent & bent” stores.
