Those days are long gone for us now as we’re working hard to cut corners and save money. But we still want to enjoy a meal out and do so about once a week, usually for lunch. It is possible to eat out without blowing your budget, it just takes a bit of planning and a few thrifty tips. Avoid the soda pop.

Something that I’ve found throughout all of my trips to the many different places I’ve visited, is that food is always a cost that is hard to contain. After all, you’ve got to eat! Plus, I have to admit to having a guilty pleasure for going all out on local cuisine when I travel. I have a big appetite and love to eat.

Eating out, while convenient, can be both expensive and time consuming. While most people think of eating out as a way to relax and save time, they typically don’t account for the time it takes to drive back and forth to the restaurant as well as the time to order, sit and wait for the food, and eat.

And, when you find yourself in the market for a new (or used) car, don’t worry about spending a little extra for an energy efficient vehicle because it will almost assuredly save money in the long-run by cutting gas consumption. Raising livestock for food takes an enormous toll on the environment, primarily because of the deforestation.

On Sundays, we’ll meet here to catch our breath, and let everyone know how we’re finding our $1000. You had to have known that this challenge was coming…I’ve taken away the drive-thru breakfast , then I told to you pack a brown bag lunch and now we’re eating dinner at home. Always use a coupon.

There was the gas, the hotel, and the restaurants to pay for. We thought eating in restaurants was a main attraction of travel because you get to try local foods. However, most of the time, we only had money for the low cost restaurants, so they were all one greasy spoon after another. Use discounts on rental cars.
