[quote=Anonymous]We set a limit on eating out/getting take out. I order take out on Friday night (usually pizza). We have lunch out on Saturday and maybe Sunday but not all Sundays (we might just make a sandwich). Otherwise, we eat at home all week. If you're doing your own grocery shopping, read the circulars that come in the mail (if you get them) for this week's deals. Sign up for online savings programs at the places you shop (you'll get some really good coupons). Look at fast casual restaurant websites for coupons, too. Get in the habit of grocery shopping only once a week for the coming week. This way, you keep track of your spending. Think about how you can turn one weeknight dinner into two (grilled steak on Sunday night becomes steak fajitas on Monday night using the leftovers, etc.). Don't buy new food until you have used up most of what you have already bought. [/quote]
