Several of my coworkers order out daily and usually try to get me to split with them or order out too. I always bring my lunch and drinks for the day, along with a snack so I don’t have to spend any money.
My clothes are always bought on sale/clearance or at the thrift store and my car is a ’00 Grand Am with 150,000 miles that gets me where I need to be with no payment!
Thanks for sharing these tips! They will definitely help many people.

I know some people like dressing up for work, but it’s a perk when I can find a job that allows jeans. I like being comfortable!

I join my coworkers every now and again, if I don’t have leftovers or anything to make for myself. This balance helps me stay social without dropping $50 per week on dining out. I’m lucky to work in a casual office too, so attire isn’t as much of an issue, though I certainly covet outfits of my coworkers from time to time!

I’ll usually slap together a sandwich or take leftovers if that is an option!

I should probably start packing lunch for my boyfriend considering he just brings everything with him, and then I end up wanting what he took. =)
