Buy fewer sweets and expensive cuts of meat, and go for more fish and vegetables, or try those nutritious one-dish meals. At the end of two weeks, there will be less unused items in the refrigerator. Bring home cooked meals to work, instead of crossing over to the deli for your lunch or coffee breaks. If your office is not issuing freebies like bottomless brewed coffee, take your instant brews to office. As much as possible, avoid the adjacent coffee shop because you cannot afford a bagel, which adds up to your unnecessary expenses.
