Too much money on the food / myLot

Malaysia

November 11, 2020 12:29am CST

My colleague commented that I purchased a lot of food. It seems like most of my money is being spend on food. No, he's not being rude. It's a casual, like surprised tone which I can tolerate. But he's right. I think most of my money are spend on food. I eat a lot. What can I do? I love to eat. I love to try new food. Do you guys have the same hobby?

I like trying new foods, but now I have to cut back. Buying food takes a lot of money

@prinzcy I find at times I am very surprised by my grocery bill and other times I think I did buy a lot and it seems right to me. I do not like to eat that much anymore. I buy extra at times so do not have to go to the grocery store a lot these days.

that's good. It's not advisable to go out a lot these days.

I hardly buy books anymore, I just read online books most of the time. Probably why I have more money to spend.

@prinzcy I seldom need books online.I either buy books or borrow them from the local library.I have a small home library of my own.

I have to admit a lot of my money goes to food as well. Although, I do not feel like I overspend. I always buy at the best price and stock up when things are on sale. So, it's win win.

It's something that I should try to. Save up and spend less. Yet got more in return.

@prinzcy Yes. You do. The whole secret to money is spending as little as you can on the things you need so you can afford better to do the things you want.

When I was single, I used to be like that too. Not actually everyday but I guess it is because of hormones. Usually I crave before my period and when I am stressed from work I tend to do stress eating.

Lot of money is spent on food items but it is a necessity not extravagant spending except when I prefer to have family outing and dine in a restaurant.
