Cutting costs while at work
I spend more money than I should buying snacks, breakfast, and lunch at work. All of that money comes out of my fun money and, therefore, out of the money I have available to save for my 2007 personal savings goal.
Today, I brought my own cereal and a bowl and packed my own lunch and snacks in an effort to prevent spending money while at work. I am drinking water and coffee that my office provides for free.
While getting the breakfast organized, I forgot to pack milk for the cereal, so I had to buy a container in the convenient store in the building ($1.30 with tax). Other than that, I should have zero expenses today while at work.
For tomorrow, I’ll work on finding a way to get a single serving of milk to work without it going bad and spend zero dollars for the entire work day.
