Wife and I have saved a ton by not eating and boozing out.
If I'm outside the building, I go get better coffee. But short of accepting the even more nasty well coffee in our office, the Starbucks is the only thing that I can be out and back with in under 10 minutes. Yeah, it's not great, but it's what's available.
But yeah, the bigger savings is coming from not going out to lunch. But the time you have a beer or two, it's a $25-$30 meal. Beers are only maybe twice a week, but other days are still $15-$20 after tip, so having a ham sammich at the homestead is probably saving me on the order of $500 a month, plus whatever gas I'm not burning.
