If it seems as though you never have enough money to consistently save some of it for emergencies—consistent, regular deposits out of every paycheck that go straight into a savings account—perhaps it’s time to consider that you’re handing over your savings to restaurants, drive-thrus, diners, and coffee shops. Think about it.
No matter your lifestyle, I am confident that with the right strategies, you really can reduce the amount of money you’re spending on food.
More Time Than Money
If yours is a single-income household struggling to survive in a two-income world, keeping food on the table and the bills paid can be quite a challenge. The good news is that time is on your side. The one not working outside the home has the time to plan, track sales, and cook in order to keep household food costs at rock bottom without sacrificing quality.
