    I'm in! It does save lots and makes me more apt to eat up leftovers that I have at home.

    PURE LAZINESS is a poor excuse for wasting money!

    Will try to only eat out when it is a 'social thing'.......
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    I'm in on this challenge...I'm very guilty of buying my lunch 5 days a week while at work! It's bad, and at anywhere from $5-$8 a day that adds up wayyyyy tooo fast. So I already have my lunch packed and ready for tomorrow, so no excuse to buy. I have a tasty ham dinner leftover meal! Oh and I didn't eat out today. I'm going to shoot for only 2 screw ups a month....so 29 no eat out days for the month of January!
