@Baker: Thanks!I love PB&J sandwiches too! It does get old after awhile. Mixing it up can help. I like eating out once in awhile can be fun, bu it can drain your wallet quickly.

@Kris: Grabbing a huge amount can eventually raises prices, but grabbing a few isn’t a problem as companies already account for a certain amount of condiments with food purchases. I used to work in a fast food restaurant and they allocate per customer. If I choose use my share for later instead of with the meal, what’s the difference?

I brown bag all the time. It’s healthier, and cheaper and also pretty easy. Def saves money on eating out. The problem is though, sometimes I just get cravings like today. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made (yea I eat like a 5 yr old sometimes) but was just craving a wrap and went out instead.

Grabbing condiments from fast-food places will only raise prices for everyone. No, thanks. It’s not a horrible idea to save money on food, either. Lots of convenience food is overpriced and bad for you. Save money by eating healthy leftovers from whatever you cooked for dinner. If that’s too boring, you can freeze it and eat it the next week for some variety.

Man… I know this is something I need to do much better and everytime I read a well put together post it brings it back to my attention. See, I am fairly good at taking PBJ to work, however having a PBJ or two everyday, is not only unhealthy but also starts to wear you down. I need to do a better job of committing to take the time to pack other various left-overs to keep myself refreshed and on top of things!

Thanks for the kick in the butt!
