The Frugal Lifestyle

I'm not really a going out to "lunch" person nor am I a "coffee drinker" so no big wasted monies there! I often do wonder tho if it's cheaper to eat home if you're only by yourself! There is more than monetary cost! There is also the time you need to go to the store, time spent picking out items in the store, and last, clean up time! ESPECIALLY if the meal is a disaster!
I know people try and be helpful suggesting cooking a big pot of chili and then freezing the rest, but once I have one or two bowls of chili, I don't want to see it for another 12 mos, so by then... HELLO can you say freezer burn...not exactly saving money that way!
