I have had an epiphany that packing your lunch is much much cheaper than going out to eat. I know, brilliant isn’t it…
It used to be commonplace for me to go out to eat (which I still love to do and helps build relationships) however if I were to be honest, I was eating out the majority of the time and that is a little in excess.
Recently I have found myself very busy during the lunch hours because I work a job in the mornings and go straight from there to another job, this does not leave much time for lunch. Out of necessity I ended up bringing my lunch to handle the time crunch to eat on the way.
I have to say this has been the best thing for me. Why? For a few reasons.
#1) When I cut out eating out for lunch, my bank account really notices the difference (you’d be surprised)
#2) When I eat out, it is very likely that I eat fried something (not healthy). A turkey sandwich and chips are much healthier and I’ll chalk that up as a plus.
#3) Saves time. If you have ever complained about not having time (most people have) this is a great time saver.
I am not saying I will never go out to eat. It is too important to building relationships, but I can say that now that I have made bringing my lunch a habit, I don’t want to turn back.
