Going out to eat is not an option anymore. We’ve started going to our local Senior Center for lunch. Just $3.00 each. Good food and a balanced meal for the cost of a cup of Coffee elsewhere. Wife get coffee, I get hot tea. Even a glass of chocolate Mike included.
Lucky my wife is great at cooking beans and rice. I eat about 4 eggs a day and that’s only about a buck.
Anyone else finding ways to save?
