Meal prepping my lunches for 4 months straight finally clicked

I used to think prepping meals on Sunday was a waste of time, but after tracking my spending for a month I saw I was dropping $60 a week on takeout. Now I batch cook chicken and rice for 5 days and spend maybe $40 total. Has anyone else noticed their grocery bill drop way more than they expected?

Are you tracking the savings over time or just eyeballing it?

Are you really just eyeballing it though? I feel like that's such a relatable struggle honestly. I've been there too, where I'm pretty sure I'm saving money but I can't actually prove it to myself. It's one of those things where you just have this gut feeling that things are working out, but the numbers are a blur. I'm glad you're asking because it's nice to know I'm not the only one flying a bit blind here.
