Burrito vs Burrito Bowl

I can't believe I didn't know this but its more cost effective to just order a burrito bowl vs a burrito. You get lots lots more filling!  At Chipotle you can even ask for the tortilla on the side!  Either way for me I have lots of freegan tortillas so basically ordered my Burrito Bowl, and used fresh ingredients first to make my burritos.  This is a great way to stretch your meals and not overeat as well because typically I can't finish a bowl in even two sittings.

I'll even stretch meals further by adding potatoes, egggs for a morning burrito !

What to do with Restaurant Leftovers

I recently had an overpriced meal with friend (peer pressure) it was unavoidable because it was to celebrate a major life event.  And after completely finishing my appetizer (never waste) I could only do half my meal justice.  So I took it home in a doggie bag for my HUMAN self of course.  It was a fried salmon with mashed potato's.  Personally, the Asian in me has a very hard time eating that much protein with out rice or more starch.  So I redid the meal by adding Salad and Plantains otherwise I wouldn't have been full.    The best part from a Frugal perspective is that salad (shouldn't be that expensive to add to your meal if you cut your own greens and its healthy) or any additional starchy meal like rice or potatoes.  Hint hint which is why restaurants typically fill as much of your plate as possible with that stuff.

Anyways, but doing this my overpriced meal became a little less overpriced because I got not only to hang out with pals but TWO meals out of it.
