Stop purchasing breakfast and lunch everyday while working. Eat breakfast before coming to work or bring some food with you to eat at the office. Spend several minutes a day making lunch instead of paying for it everyday. The cost of eating out for breakfast can range from about $3 - $8 everyday not to mention a cost of $6 - $12 for lunch everyday. The savings can add up to $100 a week. Take a bowl of cereal and a bottle of milk or yogurt to work each morning for breakfast. Make a sandwich for lunch and a snack for later.

     If your office has a microwave, prepare a hot meal or bring a frozen meal to be heated. The refrigerators and microwaves found at the office are meant for a purpose, for the employees to use them. If a refrigerator is not available, consider using a cooler with ice to carry the food meant to stay cool.

     NOTE: The same can be applied for most any type of daily activity, including business meetings and classes. Individuals "brown bagging" their lunch are not poor or cheap, only money wiser!
