That all started when I was hired for my first job at Uni.
I was excited to start a new chapter in my life and the salary was enough to cover my monthly expenses, bills and still have some leftover for play.
But after a few months, I noticed that my bank account was declining, not increasing. I began to wonder where all of my money was going and decided to investigate.
It turns out that I was wasting money on food. I was eating out with friends several times a week and I was stocking up on groceries every week.
I realized that I was spending too much money on food and it had a detrimental effect on my finances.
That’s when I decided to start eating food from my workplace pantry each day.
It ended up being a great way to save money because the food was available for free in the pantry. I could prepare my own breakfasts, lunches, and dinners and still make a snack or two in between meals.
It was also fun to eat together, as all of us could obtain something from the pantry in the morning and chat while we dined.
I discovered that I had saved almost all of my money at the end of the month.
I was amazed by the amount of money I was able to save by eating from the office pantry.
I was also able to save a significant amount of money by restricting my purchases to certain items that I needed, rather than making impulse purchases that I would otherwise have purchased.
I have been eating from the office pantry for almost two years and I saved a ton of money.
I can use the money I save to pay down my student loans and save for my future.
I also save some of the money I get to treat myself to something special, like a weekend getaway or a nice meal out with friends.
