Entrees For One
This post brought to you by T.G.I. FRiDAY’S. All opinions are 100% mine.
Like most families of late, we have to do undergo some household budget cuts. I asked both my husband and daughter to come up with ways to cut back on expenses and no idea was a bad idea. One cut that my husband made that I believe has had a very big impact is that he began taking his lunch to work.
For the last several years my husband has eaten out for lunch, 5 days a week, with some of the other guys from work. His daily lunch cost ranged from $7-$18, depending on where they went. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that bring a lunch from home is WAY cheaper! The challenge with bringing a daily lunch is variety. A person can only eat so many sandwiches or cups of soup!
While picking up a few things at the grocery the other day, my husband noticed T.G.I. FRiDAY’S “Entrées for One” in the freezer section and said they have a good variety of flavors. Plus, even with paying for these frozen meals, it’s still way cheaper then dining out. The company he works for has a nice lunch room area that includes a few microwaves so these entree’s will work perfectly for him. In fact, he’s all ready added a couple of flavor choices to my shopping list, chicken & broccoli alfredo and prime rib stroganoff. Of course, while I’m there, I might even pick up a couple of extras for me including sesame orange chicken which sounds yummy!
I’m hoping that his discovery of the T.G.I. FRiDAY’S “Entrées for One” will keep him taking his lunches and saving our budget!
