It’s 12:45. You’re hungry. You’ve got no plan. Suddenly, $17 vanishes from your wallet and a soggy sandwich is in front of you.
Meal prep may not sound glamorous, but it’s one of the most powerful money- and stress-saving habits you can build.
Why It Works
Saves money. Even one less takeout meal a day adds up to hundreds (or thousands) a year.
Saves time. Instead of stressing about what to eat, you’ve already decided.
Saves energy. Nutritious, planned meals fuel your body better than whatever was fastest on UberEats.
How to Do It:
Pick one day (Sunday works for many) to prep 2-3 meals.
Use simple batch recipes like roasted veggies, lean proteins, or grain bowls.
Store in containers so you can grab-and-go during the week.
Meal prep is really about peace of mind. When you choose in advance, you don't just save money, you reclaim time, energy, and focus.
