My payroll deduction habits got a reality check from a coworker's spreadsheet

Guy in accounting showed me he saves $240 a month just by buying store brand groceries and I finally admitted my Starbucks habit was the problem, anyone else have a cheap wakeup call like that?

That bagged cereal thing is real. I noticed the same pattern when I started paying attention to what I actually reach for in the pantry. It's funny how we get locked into one brand or one habit without even thinking about the money dribbling out. For me it was those pre-made lunch salads at the deli counter, switching to making my own saved way more than I expected.

Swapping name brand cereal for the bagged stuff saved me almost fifty bucks a month.
