Have you ever skipped some meals for the sake of saving money?

Stardom22 · Feb 26, 2024

I think life is becoming so difficult as the time goes by. This has forced some folks to the extent of skipping meals for them to save money for future use. What's your take on that?

I have not totally skipped a meal or two while saving what I only had. I am thankful that I am currently in a place where I got my sibling's back. I am on a budget so buying what I like to eat is not a luxury right now. But my sister cooks for us. My brother buys food as well. I contribute a little of what I have. But at least I can eat if needed.

I never experienced skipping a meal. I might collapse lol. I'm not a heavy eater. I can't afford a day meal skipping. That's one cause of ulcer problem.

Yes I do sometimes though mine is about losing weight. So I gain both ways. Having money and losing weight.

I can't manage skipping meal. It's not good for as having a tiresome work at the university. I need nutritious food to sustain.

Augusta · Feb 27, 2024

That's why anytime I want to eat I go for very nutritional meals to make up for days I'm not eating. it is a good way to lose weight.

It's not good to skip meals. Our brain requires the digestive system to supply food. That's one cause of high blood pressure if skip meals.

With God's grace I didn't have to do that once I grew up but heard from my mother that she have to half feed us as my father had lost his job.

Well, the good thing is that you were still eating though not the dosage you had expected but it was still helpful

I do not intend to skip meals to save money. Instead, I do not eat breakfast every day. I merely eat lunch and dinner to lose some weight, and it's been my habit ever since. The skipping part is simply a bonus.

Skipping meals is one thing I don't intend to do. There are certain things I made sure I financially overcame. And two of those are eating well and having internet subscription at all times

AruneBend · Feb 29, 2024

Sometimes when I don't want to eat I do it but not often since it can affect health negatively for sure

Are we really so hungry we must skip meals for saving money? For me this is desperate move in only blackest days.

Starmix · Mar 12, 2024

I can't afford to skip meal. I can't suffice at work hehe. I need to energize my body with nutritious food from breakfast to dinner. Let's not make a desperate move just to save because once you'll get sick, the. medicine price is more than crazy to think.

SHAHID987 · Mar 12, 2024

I never did this because intentionally by doing this I will started feeling sick. And may be go to doctor where my savings will remain useless.

eLdavis · Mar 17, 2024

I have done this several times, especially when I was in school. There were days where I didn't even eat at all. Had to rely on water alone for the whole Day just to save money.

Xtynehappy · Mar 17, 2024

I have never tried out that at home. I think that saving strategy is not for me.

deucher · Mar 25, 2024

Now I do not have such luck, but before, when I just started living an independent life and did not have a permanent job, I had to skip meals

Kross · Mar 25, 2024

I don't think I have skipped a meal to save. I might only adjust my choice of meal to save money. Skipping meals can be dangerous to health and is not advisable.

magnus2022 · Mar 30, 2024

I don't skip meals. My brother developed ulcer because of going hunger in the name of saving money. The fact remain that we can't cheat nature no matter how much we try. If we skip meals, it will negatively impair our health.
