When I moved into my first apartment I remember being so tight with my money. I didn’t want to move back to my parents’ house so I made sure I saved as much as I could. This of course limited me to the activities I participated in and mostly importantly the food I ate. I couldn’t have a steak dinner every night at my favorite steak house. I had to cook my own meals. While I’m okay with cooking my meals I had to be picky about what I bought.
I didn’t want to eat junk food and bad meals so I had to buy smart, healthy food and on a budget! I found that peanut butter was great and eggs were even better. They could go a long way in my apartment and at a great price!
Now that I’m older and I have better spending habits (and more money) I could buy those crazy items…from time to time. But when it comes to food I still buy healthy food on a budget! You should too…here’s a great list of yummy budget friendly food.
