Every Friday I bring you a food related post.
So, I have good news, well good news for us. Jamie and I actually set a food budget this month, something we hadn’t really done before. Normally, if we both agreed, we would just go out to eat whenever we wanted. Well, this month we decided to watch the budget and…
We came in at 17.3% under budget, yay! It just goes to show you that when you actually pay attention and set budgetary goals you can save a lot of money. Jamie and I just figure that the more we save, the more we can donate to the causes of our choice. We are all called to be good stewards of our money, so I encourage you to create a reasonable budget and begin to work within it. You will be amazed at the results.
Another thing I found amazing is the few times we did go out to eat, it felt more like a special occasion. The food tasted better, the conversation was deeper, and the experience was richer. No longer were we just stuffing our faces to fulfill the need of hunger, we were actually enjoying the totality of the experience; furthermore, we had the chance to try some great new recipes.
So, give it a shot.
