So it's around noon, and you're ready to grab lunch.
You're low on funds and you forgot to brown bag your lunch today. At this point your pretty much forced to eat out.
Let's say you head to the mall to the food court for lunch. Here's a simple tip on saving money by buying your drink somewhere else.
Most malls should have a dollar store nearby, if not, try to find one. Trust me, it's worth it to find one.
Buy your drink from the dollar store whether it be pop, juice, powerade, etc.
You walk over to the food court and order your food. Just order the food without the drink.
For example, me and my girlfriend generally go out and eat lunch together on a Monday. We would both head to the dollar store for our drinks, head to A&W for their burger specials, we just order the food, and we generally pay around three to four dollars for the food.
Why is this a good way to save? Well two reasons.
1 - You save a least one dollar or two depending on the restaurant or food vendor.
2 - (If you get pop) Less ice in your pop. Also seems to taste better from the bottle.
It may not look like it, but using this technique will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Happy Saving!
