coffee, cocktails, salads, etc. BUT because treats out are also nice/deserved from time to time, take advantage of fast casual dining apps with free signup rewards
It depends where you live with how easy this is to implement but:
No uber eats or postmates.
Bring your lunch to work.
Cook all meals at home.
Coffee/alcohol at home.
I don’t really follow this advice but i have in the past and it definitely adds up.
It’s also about balance. Sometimes you need to treat yourself and have a lil fun.
When you do start saving a little you can also open a hysa (high yield savings account). It is super easy and you don’t have to go to a physical bank. You can earn around 5% on your savings. Kind of nice to have your savings earn you a little extra money.
App that coordinates with local restaurants and cafes so you can get food they’re planning on throwing out at the end of the day for super cheap. I get a ton of bagels from my coffee shop for $6 and then freeze them.
