you can save money by only having water with your meals out. You also save money by not tipping the waiter or tipping the waiter less.

You don't have to clean more if you have a roommate. Me & my girlfriend live together & we both barely clean. She has various issues that make cleaning more difficult & I have some issues too along with being lazy & not majorly caring about things being messy. We also share the chores so the work is more fair. If you hate cooking you might could find a roommate who likes doing the cooking if you wash the dishes after. You could also maybe pay a larger portion of the rent in exchange for them handling more of the chores. Like if you pay two thirds & they pay one third you would still have a tad more money available.

Cooking: if you have a favourite food or foods, cook it in batches, and keep it in the fridge or freezer. Spaghetti sauce or chili were good ones for me. (A friend swore by pilchard stew. Each to his own.)


Yes, that is what I do too. I have ten sealable glass bowls. I fill them up with bean, veggie and meat stew cooked in the Instapot about once a week. Then I have meals the whole week long. Very inexpensive and fast too.


I used to have a running Indian buffet at home. Every day I would cook something to last three or four meals. I would usually have rice, a chicken curry, a vegetable curry, and some beans (channa masala). I could keep that up for weeks at a time.

Recently, I have thought about doing a running Mexican buffet. That would be easier. Keep three or four days of fried rice and refried beans and have either burritos, tacos, or enchiladas most days. For the burritos, tacos, and enchiladas, I could make a common filling such as shredded chicken to last three or four days. Alternatively, I make really good shredded pork.


Indian & Mexican food are delicious. I think I prefer Indian though. That tumeric, it helps with my arthritis.
