Great news to share! Introducing a new feature on YBR- Frugal Fridays! This feature will be a weekly tip from Ms. Frugal that aims to help us with ideas on keeping our finances fit for 2010! Ms Frugal (aka Jamila M. from Empressmag.com) is a 27 year old sista who is definitely financially savvy. She is an entrepreneur, corporate employee, and fashionista.. all on a budget! Ms. Frugal even managed to buy her first home in NYC at the age of 23! (Anyone who lives in the NYC area knows that this is no small feat)
Check out this week’s tip below!
Bring Your Own Breakfast and/or Lunch to work- If you have a cafeteria in your office, or have a restaurant within close proximity to where you work, you know that buying breakfast or lunch everyday can be very costly. For example, in my cafeteria one english muffin costs $1.00. When I realized that I could get a pack of eight english muffins from my supermarket for $1.00, I decided to take my muffin to work and use their toaster and butter for free!
What ways do you save money on food at work?
-Ms. Frugal

Isn't bringing your own food from home usually the first thing ppl do to save money. This is def something ppl should do. I guess everyone doesn't think like that.
DeeDee..
I have always brought my own food to work and school- NO shame in my game, and yes i do heat up fish in the office and they make fun of me but so wat... momma gotta save some change.
This is soo true, some ppl at my job spend $6 everyday just on breakfast..YIKES...
i'm def one of those d-bags who spend 6 bucks on breakfast and 10 bucks on lunch.. I know that it's a waste of money..but who has time to cook and prepare food?? I don't.. I def will make an effort to start though, because I am wasting A LOT of money!
I know it's not good.. but I steal tea, milk, and water from my job. It may not seem like much, but it adds up and keeps pennies in my pocket!
I really enjoyed reading your material! I will definitely be back on Fridays!!
