Can I join too please? Melaniep101
I've done 5 out of 5 this week:
Monday - leftover Spag Bol
Tuesday - leftover jacket spuds with beans
Wednesday - Snowed in so lunch at home - I think it was toast
Thursday - As Wednesday
Friday - Back in work - Pizza Express pizza which work have paid for
I normally spend a fiver a day in M & S so £25 saved!

I made it too!
I also survived StarbucksSat with the girls and didn't even start to crack... so its doable!
Also, as extra precaution I gave away my vouchers for 50p off in starbucks every day, so don't have an excuse. I did treat myself to a mars bar... but I think I'll allow it!
I'd say I've saved a minimum of £10, but probably a fair bit more!
Thanks for starting this challenge!Clicking, searching and surveying my way to a life of debt freedom!

Hello :hello:
Can I join in? I don't go back to work until next week for 2 days only yaaaay! I'm aiming for 3 days and keeping it under £2 (although not if I go for a fry up....£5 eeep) My office doesn't have any reheating facilities, just boiling water so sometimes I crave hot food but I can take soup in a flask in.
I'm going to write a lunch planner so I don't get bored :T:hello:
