Smarter Seasonal Spending Challenge Day 3: Cut Costs Now
Save a little more this year by cutting out things you don't need now! Make your coffee at home, bring your own lunch, skip name brands and add it all to a holiday slush fund.
How much do you spend on coffee and lunches each week? How much can you save if you stop buying a few of these "treats" for the next three months?

I drink coffee at work so there is no charge there or savings but I eat out for lunch about twice a week adn could save about 10 a week in cutting that out and bringing from home
I'm a stay at home mom, but I always pack my husbands lunches and snacks. He takes leftovers a lot so that saves us even more =]
I spend about 10 bucks on coffee a month and I usually have a cup every morning.
dont drink coffee haha, i work at home now, so whatever we buy for groceries is what we eat.
I started buying coffee, sweetener, and creamer in bulk at Costco when it's in their coupon flyer. That makes it even cheaper. I can't even remember when I last bought coffee out.
DD packs her lunch for school. I only work 2 days a week, and I take my lunch there. DH sometimes packs, sometimes buys depending on where he is working that day. We've cut back on eating out.
I don't buy coffee or tea I carry it from home. For lunch I always carry leftovers from dinner,but I am guilty of having a bagel at least once a week. LOL
