First day of my new life

So, today I find myself unemployed, I have no where to be at a specific time. I can actually work on the house, where do I start? how do I begin?

I can have the simple life now but I have to learn some new things how to discount grocery shop, how to make things last and how NOT to give into temptation.

Summer break is fast upon us and that means the kids will want to do things. How can I do things on a tight budget? Can I still make summer break fun?

Alright I need to stop delaying, I need to get up, I need to get motivated because today is the first day of my simple life.

Buying lunch meals vs going out

I figure on average I spend around $6. a day for lunch when I go out to eat. So today I went to the store and bought 3 frozen meals, 2 non frozen, 4 single serve diced peaches, peanut butter crackers, and 5 yogurts. This cost me around $20. So, this week I maybe save $30., but now that I look at all the things I bought this isn't very Eco friendly. All of these items are individually packaged that means lots of trash. I must do better and bring food from home. Any ideas?
BTW I am a vegetarian, more challenges.
