    Babes21 - why not make lunch at home?!

    I know yeah, would be a lot cheaper wouldn't it? I'm not too keen on sandwiches though, i have a fast metabolism so need something filling, hence the snacks i have too :o. Prefer to eat something hot too and don't have access to a microwave at work, well we do but it's way across the other side of the connecting building and by the time i walked there, waited for food to cook etc my lunchtime would be finished :confused:.
  • Ah I see Babes21, pasta ?

    I do like Pasta Salad type dishes, will look for some different recipes and hopefully then can prepare a few for next week on Sunday.

    You could buy your snacks from the supermarket and take them to work each day, that may save a few pennies.
    I love those instant soups that have pasta in too, they're really filling so make a good snack.

    My day was ridiculous. £390 on the MOT and £20.00 on food at the supermarket. Did raid the special offers and got everything on BOGOF though!

    Just been shopping for the first time in a week and spent £52. Also had a 5p off a litre coupon so filled the car up - another £47 (should last the month though). Both are budgetted for so technically a nsd.
