Successes: bringing lunch more/not eating out multiple times per week, more home cookin (easy meals w/ leftovers)
Good for you. This is the real money-saving sweet spot. You don't have to shop hard for sales, go crazy couponing, or eat beans & rice every day, as long as you control spending on lower-end prepared foods. The $5-$15 office lunches add up alarmingly fast, and the decently planned brown bag lunch is often better than the Subway/Quiznos/JimmyJohns alternative. (Though I forgot my lunch today so I'm violating my own cardinal rule.)

It’s also just healthier in general!
We average a few vendor lunches each week so if I really want to eat out, I can get it for free. But I shouldn’t for my wallet and my waist line!
One thing I’m also bad about is not using meats that I freeze. I’ll freeze something and not pull it out until 2 years later. I need to get better with that.
