I have always been surprised at how many people I see constantly talk about saving money or the cost of things and then turn around and eat out at fast food joints or restaurants. You can't away from eating fast food or at a greasy spoon these days for $10 and people are doing it two to three times a week.
If you want to save money, eat at home. Period. Take that $50 a week and put it into groceries. You won't spend as much food shopping and the food will last you a lot longer. You will also be a lot healthier and that's worth it's weight in gold.
If you are on the road for extended periods of time, grab a cooler and bring some food with you. Find a hotel that has a fridge so you can store your food overnight and keep your ice packs cool.
Not much for tips but people don't realize the money you can save by cooking at home or taking a lunch with them instead of eating out at fast food places or restaurants.
