Saving Money

A bachelor......saving money on food

A lot us guys battle when it gets to grocery shopping, especially if you are single or recently broken up, because a lot of the times the grocery shopping was done by your better halves or mom.

Now lets be honest how many of us look in to the fridge and all there is, is a few beers, maybe some cheese and milk which is most probably off by a week. Men have a tendency to rather skimp on the groceries and instead buy take out which is nothing wrong with but does become a problem on your wallet and belly if it is a every day occurance.

Now if you were to buy groceries on a weekly basis, just for the week, you can actually save money because the food you buy wont go off, now a lot of guys are thinking every week..why...it is such a schlep..but it you had to go on a Sunday morning you will find that the grocery store is not as busy and once done you will also have the rest of the Sunday to go out and enjoy whatever sport or hobby that you do.

Buying on a weekly basis is also easier for you to keep track of what you buy and how much you spend on a monthly basis for chow.

Now there are a few tips here for us cave men who think that the fridge miraculously coughs up food everytime we open its door.

TIP #1

It might seem like a massive strain on our brains, but working out what you eat for the week can actually save you time in the long run and money.

Sit down and see what you eat for breakfast lunch and dinner every week, then write down the food that will be involved in each meal and presto you have a weekly grocery list.

TIP #2

If you are one of those guys that are extremely busy even to such a degree that cooking isn’t always an option, then here is one solution....try preparing your food on a Sunday for the week ahead, and store it in the freezer, you might take an hour or two to do so, but think of the time you will save when coming home after work each day, time that you could be using to complete that assignment or go to the gym.

TIP #3

Pack your lunch into a mini cooler the night before, to take to work. This shouldn’t take you longer than 10 minutes to do, and it will save you time in the morning, and money because you won’t need to pull pass a take out joint to get food.

 Following these tips could easily help you save quite a few bucks which you could use for a that new mountain bike you have been eyeing out or that new surround sound system that you want to impress mates with.
