OP, are you in college now, or are you anticipating next year and trying to plan your budget?

If you have dinner already paid for, it might not be a bad idea to pack yourself a breakfast and/or lunch for the next day while you are at dinner.

For example, at my son’s school, cereal is always available…could you pack yourself a ziploc bag full of cereal to eat the next morning. Or could you pack yourself a sandwich or snag an extra piece of pizza or fruit?

Something else my son sometimes does…when he and friends order pizza (3 for $15), they each get their own pizza…he can get 2 meals out of one pizza, so$2.50/meal is good on his budget.
