Learn to Cook

Eating out is a huge budget buster.
Even seemingly inexpensive fast food can add up quickly. Cooking your own meals could save you a small fortune on restaurants and groceries (you'll buy fewer pricey frozen and prepared meals).
Plus, you could make dating cheaper -- who wouldn't be impressed by a cozy dinner?
Scour the Web for simple recipes to get your feet wet, or check out beginner cook books at your local bookstore.
