I had to go dairy free about 7 years ago and it made eating at home the much better choice. I didn’t even think about the savings but after the first year it was amazing to see the difference. My best advice for meal prep when you’re busy (two jobs myself) is use your food bank aka the freezer and find every type of meal you like that you will eat reheated. If you’re not sure go down the frozen food section and write down all the things that look good. If manufacturers are freezing it you can too. That 8 hours on Sunday then turns into time and money saving in the weeks and months ahead. How many times did you just get takeout because you ran out of time to meal prep? If you had a premade frozen breakfast sandwich and chili your work day meal prep is grab and go.

I think it should be noted that many folks these days think every eatting experience has to be top notch. And so I think people are actually becoming more and more repulsed by the idea of eatting at home. Not me, just something I’ve observed lately

[@Joenzinator]

I don't think 13 hours is very far off. Going to 2 grocery stores/week, including travel time, could easily be 3-4 hours. I cook my kids a hot breakfast, and that takes 15 minutes/day. Packing lunches takes 15 minutes / day. Dinner + cleanup takes 45 minutes / day. So that's about 6 hours between Monday and Friday. Weekends you have time to cook longer meals too. I just made an 18 hour brisket that I had to monitor every few hours. It also takes time to do meal planning, organizing the pantry and taking inventory. As a single person, it might be worth it to just eat out or buy prepared foods. It's difficult to cook for 1 and not waste food. I have a family of 5, and the cost savings/hour scales. Eating out doesn't cost $15, it costs $75. The ingredients cost $25, so saving $50 by cooking for 45 minutes is a good value prop.

So a person could start a healthy lunch with an apple and a qtr pound of broccoli (which is more than a serving) for about a dollar, and still have over a buck and a half to add some protein and a bit of carbs.

Is a peanut butter sandwich cheaper than a $5.00 value meal? Sure, and I like peanut butter sandwiches, but not as much as that value meal. Drinks have gotten ridiculous, including non-alcoholic drinks, _the_ exception is McDonald's coffee, especially the senior coffee. I had a double cheeseburger and senior coffee the other day, filling and just over $3.00 total, cant beat that. Also, people like my mom frequently only eat one or two meals a day.

I just get 5% cashback on the groceries I buy anyways, plus it protects me from my debit card info ever getting stolen again

Yup his arguement is incorrect but he doesnt do cc so wouldnt know. I get well over $1k cashback on things I would buy anyways but takes a certain mindset.

Obvious money advantages aside, nothing of us getting home and then sharing our day with each other while making supper is great. To replace that with having to run over to a fast food joint, where the workers don't even look you in the eye, would be depressing.

[@rafizxDx]

Holddddup. 100 a month for a family of 4??? My brother in Christ, in what alternate universe are groceries that cheap??? I'd believe you if we were talking about half of eating out for groceries or, by your own words and research earlier in the video, a third. Yes, it is cheaper to eat at home, but you're not going to reduce 550 a month of eating out to 100 a month. Maybe to 250, 200, 180 at the lowest end, but not 100.

[@GeorgeKamel]

I never said a family of 4 eats on $100 a month. They still have a grocery budget. I’m saying their eating out budget goes down to $100, meaning they only eat out once or twice a month.

So, my issue with channels like this (and I like you George) is that missing out on life to save a lot doesn't really make you rich. It just means your a tightwad who traded experiences for savings. Life is a balance. So, go make more money, and enjoy that dinner at Olive Garden.

[@GeorgeKamel]

If eating at Olive Garden is what constitutes as “living life”, I would argue that you are not living.

[@omargarcia8230]

I've tried meal prepping, but my cooking just tastes so bland. Sadly, I've found it more enjoyable to just eat out for lunch everyday, despite the large spending.

Hello, I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best. Can you explain further how you invest and earn?

[@MohamedJeffery11]

Same, I operate a wide- range of Investments with help from My Financial Adviser. My advice is to get a professional who will help you, plan and enhance your management skills. For the record, working with Sonia Duke, has been an amazing experience.

[@DanielleBens-u6k]

My advice to everyone is this: If you want to grow big this year, especially in your finances, be willing to take risks. Saving is great, but taking risks puts you on a pedestal where you wouldn’t have to worry about saving like you do now. Thanks to Sonia Davis, my portfolio is doing very well and I’m proud of the decisions I made last year.

You can get as much or more credit card rewards for shopping at grocery stores. Plenty of cards offer 3%-6% back at grocery stores. Honestly I've never heard that as justification specifically for eating out.

Umm I'm single and I only get groceries u definitely can't make 100$ last an entire month, 10 years ago when I first moved out yes you could and I k ow this because I have a budget and it went from 100 to 400$ a month and I get less food now

You can. But your eating very basic foods. Litterly beans and rice. With different seasonings.

@mjhenderson0311 are u getting enough protein? Depending on ur lifestyle/how active u are u might eat more or less, me personally I have alot of outside hobbies/sports I play regularly and if I'm trying to eat right so I can actually do well I can't do it on 50$ a week....when I'm being lazy and just play games all the time then it's easy I can live on Oatmeal so just depends on alot of factors
