Found a $47 chunk in my meal budget just from meal prepping Sundays

I used to grab lunch out every workday for like $12 a pop, but after 3 months of prepping on Sundays I cut that to zero and had $47 extra leftover in my checking account this month, has anyone else seen that big a swing just from changing one habit?

Did you always think meal prep was overhyped like I did?

@rosew37 honestly I thought it was overhyped too until I crunched the numbers. I started just making big batches of rice and chicken on Sunday with some frozen veggies and it ended up saving me like $60 a month easily. The trick for me was keeping it simple - I don't do fancy recipes, just stuff I can throw in the fridge and grab on the way out.
