Control thy passions lest they take vengeance on thee.
Epictetus.
Today's frugal tip is one that I am not sure of, however I am wiling to give it a go. As the cost of food increases and my waistline expands, the next tip makes a lot of sense.
Frugal tip number seven - follow portion control and cut food portions in half.
This sounds easier said than done. I have been dieting for over 20 years - and still, I am fat. Food is my passion. I love food - love, love, love food. And food loves me - my hips, my ass, my stomach. So by cutting my portions I am going to try and cut back on food costs. And calories.
I am not going to change what I eat, I am going to change how much I eat. I will cut out extra snacks during the day and replace them with fruit. I will eat 3 meals and no seconds. And I will begin to study portion sizes and incorporate them in my meals. I can be a hungry, hungry hippo at times and having this as my control will hopefully not only save me cash but also my waistline.
An easy tip to explain - let's see how I go with the actual going ahead with it....
A great read on saving money and portion control -
