Eating out: our worst “frienemy” Saving busy professionals and parents from slaving in the kitchen after a long day at work, and bringing friends together, eating out is a cornerstone of our North American culture. So why do we eat out so often? I meal plan once per week.

Grocery Shop. I know grocery shopping doesn’t sound like a lot of fun when you go away on vacation (you’re probably dreaming about not having to do that!), If your accommodation has a fridge, you can make salads and cold meals easily. Daily Deal Sites. Treat Yourself Sparingly. Go Frugal'

There were a few things that they did that you can do too, which will reduce your environmental impact and maybe even help your wallet: Bring Fabric Bags When Grocery Shopping. Many grocery chains have started to charge a small fee for plastic bags, too, and your savings can add up over time. Get Take Out/Eat Out Less.

Pre-Made Meals (All The Time). I most certainly enjoy an already made meal every once in awhile. However, the spending money on meals that are already made for you is not usually worth it. You wouldn’t want to take a luxury car to a routine Sunday grocery shopping trip. High End Cars. Go Frugal'

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. Create a Meal Plan. We travel with my extended family, so my mom and I will sit down before the trip and talk about a meal plan. What activities will be available where you are going?

Here is an article I Wrote in 2013 that I am going to repost on how I survive on a $30 bucks a week on my grocery bill for the whole family : Question: can you survive on $200 a month grocery shopping for the whole family? I do the same thing AND my kids eat healthy! So Sunday and Tuesday is meal No.

Sure, there is time spent upfront; about 30 minutes for me each Sunday when I plan my menu and make a grocery list. But that 30 minutes makes my grocery trip go much smoother and with a pre-planned menu, dinner hour is spent preparing the meal, not wondering, “what are we having for dinner?”. Maybe even a crock-pot meal.
