Swap your mid-afternoon snack to save cash and calories.
How to do it:
Step away from the vending machine or corner convenience store when you're at work or out and about today. Instead of choosing a sweetened drink for your mid-day break, fill a reusable bottle with water. Skip high-calorie snack or candy bars, pastries, and salty snacks from the machine. Instead, pack your own fruit, trail mix, or string cheese and get a better deal for your bank account and body today.
Why it matters:
Loose change adds up, and little treats can cost a lot! The cash you'll save each week by not buying vending-machine drinks or snacks (priced about $1.50 each) every day could put an extra $75 or more in your wallet in just three months.
Let us know if you tried it.
Fun Fact:
The average cost per serving of fruit or vegetable (fresh, frozen, and canned) is 25 cents.
