Short Term Goal

January 10th, 2013 at 02:09 am

I’ve decided that I won’t be able to eat out during lunch as much once the baby comes. We’ll have a decrease in amounts for our personal allowances, so I won’t have that much to spend (like $10/week little). I figured I should get used to it now. No reason to be shell shocked when it needs to happen. Plus then I can save some of my allowance now for future use.

There are 22 work days in January for me. I want to start packing at least 75% of the time. That means I have to pack 17 lunches and only go out 5 times. So far I’m doing well. I only have eaten out once, on Monday. I was so tired from last weekend that I forgot to pack or grab anything as I ran out of the door.

I’m also going to try to track my grocery expenses for the lunches to see how much it really costs compared to some of my $2 or $3 eating out options (bagel sandwich or salad bar)

    I have packed my lunch every day for years now. In fact, eating lunch out five times in one month would feel excessive to me! It gets easier the more you do it, and it makes the eating out more of a real treat. If you have access to a fridge and microwave at work, it's a piece of cake, really.
