When my wife started going back to school, one of our concern is that she will not be able to prepare meals anymore. But she was still able to manage to do so. Both of us “brown bag” our food when I go to work and when she goes to school. Just recently, my  wife prepared various foods such as sweet potato pie , chicken sandwich, entrees like sauteed vegetables, soupy fish, chicken apritada, etc. Thank God for the microwave as I can always reheat the food that I brought. It is always good when your food is hot.

With the bad economy that we are experiencing nowadays, it would be best to tighten our belt and save as much money as we can. You just cannot be sure that something might happen down the road with your job or you can get sick. We are also cutting back on purchasing clothing and cutting back on eating out during weekends. We are only eating out when there is a special occassion.
