With so many wonderful bean and grain dishes and endless ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into lunch and dinner, it’s frustrating that the options are so limiting (Mediterranean, Asian, and Indian cuisine are notable exceptions). It makes me sad, not only as a vegetarian, but also as a person who loves good food.

My husband and I made some serious financial goals for 2014. To achieve those goals I need to review our spending to see where I can make some cuts. Plan for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks. If there is one budget category that can quickly get out of control for me, it is GROCERIES. Plan for All Seven Days.

But we have some serious financial goals to hit and the grocery budget is an easy target when it comes to cutting the budget. And while I didn’t hit my goal of $400, I did reduce our spending to $425 for my family of 4. And not one person complained about the dinners or their breakfasts and lunches. So refreshing.

5 – Brown bag your lunch. There was a time (pre-pandemic) that I ate lunch out almost every day with friends. An easy lunch idea in one word: leftovers! If you have a big financial goal, think about how much you pay someone to do something that you are capable of doing yourself. 6 – Eat dinner at home.

Personally, budgeting has allowed us to control of our money, reach financial goals, and start planning for our dream life. – Food: groceries, meals out, school lunches. If they are, you can consider putting the extra funds into an emergency fund, pay off a credit card, or save for another financial goal.

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. In fact, there would be entire weekends that we ate at a restaurant for every single meal–breakfasts, lunch, and dinner…AND ice cream cones for dessert! But at one time, we ate out quite a bit.
