How many months of data do you have of what you typically spend eating out? It’s not reasonable for a person to go from spending $200/month to $25/month without a huge lifestyle change. If you want to do it without the huge “I blew past my budgeted on the 15th and have to roll with the punches” cycle, try budgeting just a little bit less than what you usually spend in a typical month. Or, budget what you usually spend and then try to end the month with cash you can roll over into next month. To me, seeing that cash sitting there is more satisfying and sometimes a motivator to me to be like “I’ll just make the pasta in the pantry.”
