Money Saving Must Haves:
A Budget
If you are wanting, needing to save money you need to have a budget. Whether it be an app or a budgeting binder you need to know where all your money is.
A Meal Plan
How many times have you gotten home and you have no idea what’s for dinner? You have nothing defrosted or prepped so you order take out or make sandwiches.
There is nothing wrong with sandwiches in fact ham and swiss is my favorite. But there is something counterproductive with ordering takeout when you’re trying to save money.
Investing in a good meal plan and building your weekly meals on what you have in house is a great way to save money.
