[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP -- do a one-month food spending fast to reset. Eat down your pantry/freezer/fridge. Plan meals based on what you have on hand, bring leftovers for lunches. Buy only what you absolutely need, and look at grocery sale flyers. During the fast, pay attention to where you feel most deprived or what is most frustrating (keeping a journal could help). Use that info to come up with a longer-term plan. Do you really miss restaurants, then set a plan for making that a reasonable part of your routine, e.g. Friday nights and Sunday lunch, but not anytime you feel like it. Is it that you just hate bringing lunch? Think about how you can make that more appealing or are there lower cost options near your office?[/quote]
