Eat less save more

Save! Potentially a lot. Maybe about half of your food spend

The long and the short of it
Cut down on your meal portions because we are all eating too much....

Local tips!
Order less side dishes. Don't order "value" meals.

-------------------------

This is more philosophy and method than a good deal kind of post. 

We all eat way too much now in this modern, affluent society. That's why diabetes and gout are on the rise. Both are "rich man" diseases. Rich in the sense that we can fill our bellies and not have to go hungry. A very low bar.

So to combat health problems from eating too much and save our bellies and our wallets, we should all try to cut down on consumption. 

For e.g.
  • When ordering Cai Fan 菜饭, aim for just 2 side dishes instead of the usual 3. 
  • Always avoid taking the meal options in fast food outlets and just buy 1-2 individual items. 
These actions may just save you a few cents but you're treating your body and wallet so much better.

Try it. Start slow.
Do frugal Fridays!
Where you subtract one item off your lunch since you've the weekend to look forward to so a bit of "misery" in smaller food portions shouldn't hurt that much!

Work your way to a slimmer self and a fatter wallet!
Better for your heart and mind too :D
