    Can I join in too please. I will aim for 14 days take away free by the end of August. I figure this should amount at about £100 saved as I usefully have 2 or 3 take aways per week.
    I am aiming to be debt free by the time I am 30 (May 2010)

    Hi JagBabe,

    Don't think there is anyone keeping a note of participants as we seem to have revitalised an old thread. Go for it :)

    Here's to less takeaways and more money / waistline saving:beer:

    Well done guys, we can all try to manage on our own and motivate each other. No takeaway for me either, although to be fair, it would be the weekends I might be tempted and since I've been spending some time on these boards daily, I feel less tempted for some reason! All good though.
    I've sent the OP a PM letting him know his thread has been revived in case he wants to join in again and give numbers out etc!

    Oh forgot to say - used my student snapfax savings for a Dominoes so a very MSE takeaway - 1 x medium pizza and one side order of chicken dippers and potato wedges. 40% off for collection Mon-Wed = total cost £7.32:D

    No takeaways for us yesterday and we have organised dinner for tonight - just off to buy some potatoes to make home made chips and we have M&S breaded fish in the freezer. So "homemade" fish and chips for us tonight :)

  • Hi everyone :)

    We are doing well. From having some sort of takeout food every day. We/I have managed to get organised and actually shopped for loads of food to stop us ordering out.

    The kids had toast, poached eggs & cereal today and said it was better than having macdonalds breakfast.

    And i have half prepared a pot of soup and a beef stew for tonight (Im easily impressed lol)

    No takeaways for another whole day woo hoo
