for the next 2 weeks, all food will be consumed at home.
i started using mint.com again. this site is brilliant. it sends you alerts when you've gone over a budget that you can set for yourself in specific categories. well the alert i received last week was as follows: "this month you spent $713.47 on food & dining, you are $500 over budget" so there it is. went grocery shopping immediately upon swallowing that piece of information. i am now a changed woman.
i will grocery shop once a week
i will eat breakfast at home
i will make lunch at home to take to work
i will come home after work to cook & eat dinner at home
i will not spend $700 a month on dining out

I also love mint.com!I started using it years ago at the recommendation of a friend. Too bad I stopped using it and didn't add in my new card. That would probably help me keep better track of spending. Good luck on your cooking at home resolution! :)
