Eating On A Budget!
The middle of the month is a trying time for many, mostly because your needs and wants are measured against how much you can spend until your next pay check. I don’t know about you but I’m always negotiating with myself on what is or isn’t a priority so that I don’t go completely broke before the end of the month.
One thing that will always be a priority is having a meal; regardless of whether or not your funds are sufficient, your health and your general productivity in the work place is partly dependent on what you eat. Because of this, hellofood has lined up 7 restaurants that have great food at pocket-friendly prices.
