    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I usually bring home made salads or soup to work for lunch, but am a bit of a Pret addict, so if I don't bring homemade stuff in, I'll spend about £3 in Pret!

    Nice one! I think I probably spend about £5 a week. Treat myself to a 'shop bought butty' a coupla times a week - the rest of the time I take HM soup or sandwiches from home. Could do better!!
    Virgin CC -[strike]£2383.41[/strike]£2796.91, HSBC CC - NIL OD - £550 and ALWAYS up to limit. :naughty:
    Pay a bill a day (£10 extra saved for monthly bill)

    I reckon 75P max, always use the bread bags for taking sarnies to work, at least 2 days a week I don't have to worry about cleaning the lunch box out when I get home !
