Takeout is so convenient, right? I love being able to order something delicious 🍗, grab my bag, and head home to enjoy it. Sounds easy, right? It really is. But I started thinking about two things: the quality of the ingredients I’m eating and how much money I’m spending on takeout every month. Let’s break it down. Sure, a $10 orange chicken meal sounds great, but if you’re like me and grab takeout 3 times a week, that adds up to $120 a month 😱. When I switched to meal prepping, I realized I could use that same $120 to prep WAY more meals, with ingredients I trust and flavors I love. The best part? When I cook at home, I control everything—the ingredients, the portions, and the taste. I can make my own personalized orange chicken with cleaner, fresher ingredients and skip all the added stuff I don’t want. And if you have food allergies or specific dietary needs, like me, meal prepping makes it so much easier to enjoy food without stress. Plus, no leftovers going mushy in the fridge or portions that don’t suit my appetite. I make exactly what I need, and I save money I can use on something fun (like a vacation fund 🌴). Ready to meal prep yet?? You save time, money, and make food you actually love. If you’re ready to start meal prepping, grab a pen and start making your ingredient list—it’s easier than you think!
