Many of us are trying to save our money so that we won't end up on a tight budget later on in life. I'm sure that many of us would skip out on buying food if we didn't need to eat to live. Unless, you live to eat. Either way, dining out frequently can seem inexpensive at first, but can quickly add up if you don't manage your spending. Here is a sample grocery list for anybody trying to eat on a budget!

Breakfast

Don't skip out on breakfast! Yes, you may be in a rush if you're late or you just may not feel like actually fixing yourself something to eat; but, it's important for your body to receive fuel at the beginning of the day so that you can feel energized. 
  • Oatmeal $2 with bananas 
  • Eggs $1-2 with toast (bread $1-2) and sausage (frozen sausage $1)
  • Cereal $2.50 and milk $1 (for 1/2 gallon)


Lunch

Sandwiches are a quick and easy go to in which you don't have to actually cook anything. Unless, you like your sandwiches hot of course.

  • Peanut Butter ($2-$3) and Jelly ($2)
  • Cold cut sandwich: Lunch meat $3, cheese $2, and condiments of choice
  • Sides:
  • Chips $2-$2.50
  • Canned fruit .79-$1 per can
  • Canned Soup $1.50-$1.79 each
Oh, and don't forget that grilled cheese and canned soup is always a great fix when you're not sure what to eat. 

Dinner

Let's not forget the last meal of the day that should keep you full until you're ready to start your day all over again in the morning. These last two options are fairly easy to cook and should take no more than 30 minutes to make. 
  • Stir Fry with meat or veggies only: rice, ($1.50-$2) frozen vegetable stir-fry($1.80), meat of choice (optional)
  • Spaghetti ($.79), sauce ($1),  with meat (optional)

How To Make Money (Without A Job) 1.) Start a T-Shirt Business In my opinion, you can never go wrong with starting up your own t-shirt line. Almost everybody owns some type of t-shirt or graphic tee so why not turn it into a business? You can come up with your own logo or just make basic tee's that majority would love to wear. Such as "Flawless" or Tupac or classic cartoons with a funny quote. There are many websites out there to help get you started or you can build from home. 2.)  Sell Eyelashes I see almost everyone doing this on social media. They have a link in their bio to their eyelash website. You can search whole sale eyelash companies online that are willing to help people like you make some extra cash. 3.) Sell Your Blood Plasma You don’t make big bucks for this, but it will put some extra cash into your pocket. You can donate your plasma twice a week and earn between $20-$50 each time you do it. Just be sure to eat a WELL BALANCED DIET ...

Favorite music Whether you’re blasting your music through speakers, having your own mini concert in your bathroom, or putting your ear buds in to unwind, music is also another great way to spend the day with yourself. You can actually listen to the lyrics and get a better feel to what messages the artist what’s to relate to you. 3.) Binge watch movies/tv series This tip is my favorite because I’m a sucker for romance movies. I can watch them all day or binge watch Stranger Things while eating food in bed all day. 4.) Do not disturb That’s right! A lot of people are glued to their phones. I mean how can you possibly unwind if you’re still glued to your phone, checking your notifications and...
