Save money by skipping meals and eating light snacks!

Postby MysticMoons » 13 Jul 2022, 06:08

I always sleep in. But sleeping in can also save you money. If you sleep in you don't have to make or spend money on breakfast. Cutting even one meal a day, will make sure you save money. If you eat light snacks like peanuts you can also skip lunch, but I always eat a good dinner. Skipping meals has saved me money and made my food last longer! Even if you do not sleep in, eating a candy bar, and skipping lunch is one great way to save money on food every month, and have more money for toys.

Personally, I would not agree with this at all. The most important thing is to be healthy. What's the point in saving money if you have an unhealthy diet? Your health is your wealth. Even from a financial perspective the logic is wrong, being unhealthy is expensive - you will not be productive and medical bills are not cheap.

Do you really think that is good advice @MysticMoons? If you take a minute to think of someone you really care about, is that something you would advise them to do?

What a money-saving Tip @Mysticmoons :lol: You know millions of people do that not because they want to save but because they don't have enough to eat thrice or even twice a day.

Well not always. Who people like me who are super lazy and sleep in daily. I do not even eat breakfast. If someone needs to eat 3 times a day I will not give this advice. But for those that sleep in like me, they can just simply earn big with this great method. I only give this advice for people who sleep all day and can skip breakfast easily

Well this might only work for those that don't want to eat not those that have money and can eat healthily. So skip the meals if you believe you can save money but be sure it wouldn't affect your health.

Money is supposed to be spent, what is the essence of having alot of money and you can't use. As much as you want to save meals are very important to our bodies. If you lack the nutrients you can't have the energy to work. You should eat well and save up on other things but not food.

If you want to save money, carry a lunch box. That way you stay healthy and well fed and save money by not buying food at work. Have a plain fruit salard as a snack. You will have eaten and not spent a dime extra.

Nice idea you would even save money better this way than buying snacks. in Nigeria some snacks cost even mor than food. And funny enough you might not even be satisfied with the snack.

As for me I agree with you. I may sometimes have the money for a breakfast but then I can decide skip that to spend the money for something else

This would surely not work with me. I would end up spending more taking snacks than having to eat once and for all.

I assume you're trolling again. Obviously skipping meals saves money, but is bad for your health.

Remember, your health is an invaluable asset, and prioritizing nutritious meals is essential for overall well-being. While it's okay to find ways to cut costs, it's crucial to do so in a manner that supports your health and vitality.
I love eating, I can never see myself foregoing a meal unless it's binge drinking night.

As far as the snacks are filling, I might try it. Won't skip meals for biscuits.

IDK this wouldn't work for me at all because it's one way of breeding unhealthy eating habits. I know it's trendy to fast and some people swear by it when it comes to losing weight. However, I can't even fast. I much prefer to eat healthy and fit it a fitness regime around my often crazy work schedule. So I tend to eat five small meals, although three of those are more like grazing on healthy snacks such as veggies, veggie crisps, fruit and nuts. I try to get in all food groups but also watch my portion sizes. I aim to walk at least fives times a week as well. I like to treat myself to the occasional lie in at the weekend and couldn't do it to skip meals.

Skipping meals is not a good way to save money. It's all about your health first before thinking of saving money.

I actually eat light snacks like Golden morn a lot. To he sincere, no much cost savings with that. Sometimes, those light snacks are even more expensive.

When your money saving approach compromises your health, it is not something that you should follow.

I have done that at times when I am not very hungry but I dislike this option as I don't see any snacks that can satisfy the food hunger.

That's the truth. Snacks might end up being waste of money as you would still end up eating heavy.
