Bring your own food to work
The savings are usually not as big as they seem at first glance since home made food also costs money but they are still substancial. Living in Stockholm Sweden it is not unrealistic to save $5 a day. That’s about $100 a month you can spend of fun things instead of bad food.
Apart from saving a lot of money per year you will probably make better food at home than the one you can eat at the lunch restaurant.
Since it’s faster to heat your own food than standing in line at a crowded restaurant you will also save a lot of time.At my work I can go home earlier if I take a shorter lunch brake. If you do not have flexible working hours that half hour each day is well spent taking a brisk walk. That is free and good exercise. If you’re not the moving type, but a regular reader of this blog the saved time is a splendid opportunity to write for your blog. Bring pen and paper from home so that there is no ground for discussions of making private money with company resources.
