If you are anything like me, you are always looking for the cheapest option. I don’t care for brand names or anything like that. I like good quality products at a fair price. I also have this same mind set when it comes to eating. I believe one of the easiest ways for you to save money is on food. For example, if you go out on a date with your significant other, I bet you will probably spend about $40 – $50 depending on how many drinks you get. Now if you go out to eat 2-3 times a week, you are already looking at almost $150 on food! It adds up quick.
If you are looking for an easy way to save some money then I would suggest meal prepping. I have been doing this for awhile because does it not only save you money, it also saves you time. I will show you how to meal prep all of your lunches for around $10 a week!
One of the easiest and cheapest things to meal prep is chicken! This week I bought a little over 3 pounds of chicken for about $6. I will be able to use this all week for lunches and probably have it for dinner a night or 2. I also bought a pound of rice for $1.59 and then a pack of raw black beans for $1.79. The reason I like to go with raw black beans is because you cut out all of the sodium and other preservatives. I also bought some lite sour cream for $.99, a bunch of kale for $1.29, buffalo sauce for $1.29, and taco seasoning for $.50.
Obviously you can add other things like cheese, avocado, fresh herbs, and any other veggies. But for this post, I am going to keep it basic but also tasty. Here is the list of ingredients and their price:
