Wow, you can't even go out for lunch without dropping 5 or 6 bucks unless you go with the dollar menu at the local burger joint!

Try this advice on for size to achieve a frugal lunch.

• Bring your lunch and find a nice spot outside to enjoy it! (Sounds too easy!)
• Plan ahead, look for coupons
• Check out the restaurants near your workplace for specials
• Try walking to a close restaurant
• Carpool with friends
• Order in, share and split the costs
• Restrain yourself by ordering less (DON'T SUPER SIZE IT!!)
• Drink water instead of soda or tea and I don't mean the bottled kind that typically costs a buck or more!
