A couple of months ago I was looking at my bank statements and each month I was spending about $200 on eating out. The first piece of advice I see when someone wants to pay off their debt is to cut back on expenses. Eating out seems to be the main offender.
I decided to take a different approach. Every time I wanted to order take out, I took the amount of what my order would be and placed it into my savings. In the past couple of months I've saved a little under $200. This included everything from fancy burger places to dollar pizza. Even little things like going to the store across the street to buy a can of soda. Watching my savings grow has been really motivating me to cook at home more and stay away from junk food. I used to eat takeout at least twice a week and now I'm down to once or twice a month because of it.
