Eating out: our worst “frienemy” Saving busy professionals and parents from slaving in the kitchen after a long day at work, and bringing friends together, eating out is a cornerstone of our North American culture. It is the first thing that many of us think of when we think of celebrating a milestone.

Grocery Shop. I know grocery shopping doesn’t sound like a lot of fun when you go away on vacation (you’re probably dreaming about not having to do that!), Even buying pre-made salads and entrees at the grocery store is substantially cheaper than eating out. Daily Deal Sites. Pack Snacks.

For those of you who haven’t seen the movie, No Impact Man is about a small family who spends a year trying to live “no impact” They live without generating garbage, without using electricity (for a portion of the year), and without buying anything new. Get Take Out/Eat Out Less. This blew my mind.

The good thing was, I didn’t get used to a “luxury lifestyle” (whatever that is) during all those years. And eating out wasn’t the exception for me then. Of course, due to my upbringing, I was used to getting along with little money. We don’t eat out often, but I like to cook.

A good part of our monthly income is spent on grocery shopping, and the budget may even go higher depending on whether it’s a holiday or a birthday where you need to feed more people. Though using coupons certainly helps, there are other ways too. Don’t be loyal to any particular brand, and do some comparison shopping.

You know you shouldn’t be using credit cards all the time. But there is no way you are going to give up cable, the cell phone, eating out or your gym membership. You shop to feel better. You shop to release stress, to be someone else, to escape. Send your spouse to do the grocery shopping.
