FOOD!

Food is often times one of the highest and most versatile expenses. Hectic schedules, other priorities, poor time management, lack of preparation, and convenient accessibility, sadly, leaves proper eating a rare practice, and, as a result, a substantial expenditure. There are so many choices available. I hope the excessive options don't become overwhelming and disorganized. I want to list off as many selections as possible b/c it's much easier to reduce expenses than people realize. Sometimes, people don't bother to take advantage of the alternatives, or they just don't know any better. Whatever the reason is, we can all afford to open our eyes to the discounts that exist and utilize them.

Create an environment that prevents the likeliness of resorting to fast food and take-out delivery. The improved environment differs from person to person. The best way to save money is to prepare your own food. Not everyone enjoys it, but the money saving benefits makes the self-sufficient task worth the investment. Even just cooking a few times a week or a few dishes yourself with take-out will make a difference. If you're still uninterested, ask a friend who loves to cook to make a few dishes a week for you. You can buy the groceries, and he or she will get a free meal out of it. It's also a great way to stay in touch.

Even with all the money saving rules, people manage to overspend on bread alone and other food groups. Bagels, dinner rolls, biscuits, bread, etc. You don't need to buy that much. In other posts, I'll narrow down what types of bread to get. Ill continue to go down the food group list.
