… You pay attention to the sales going on at the grocery store. I’m still mastering the skill of buying on a budget and getting the most out of my dollar, but I’m slowly getting there. I was in the store picking up some food (and Seagram’s Escapes – Peach Fuzzy Navel, some of the best fruit coolers ever) and I decided to pick up some of those diet microwaveable meals. 4 for $10. So that’s at least 4 days worth of lunches to bring to work, for a little over $2.50 each. Pretty good considering you really can’t get much for that price even at McDonalds. It’ll keep me from buying fast food for my lunch/dinner break so a big plus there.
I’m sure anyone over the age of 21 (or maybe even younger) is probably slapping their forehead right now. But, honestly, I haven’t had to go grocery shopping very often- much less budget my money like I do now. Everyone discovers these things eventually, right?

I’ve been where you are and still am. Btw, Costco has those 4 packs of the diet microwave meals for under $10.
