Eating Out EAT AT HOME Bring lunch to work (good way to use leftovers) Skip dessert if you do eat out Avoid stops at food marts/bagel shops to and from work Bring snacks instead of using vending machines Go out to eat only on special occasions If you must go out, go for lunch rather than dinner (usually cheaper) If you have children and must eat out, choose restaurants where kids eat free Use coupons (buy one entrée, get one free; 15% discount off bill, etc.) Buy the 99¢ burgers to go, skip the soda and fries
