January save on work lunches challenge

medini

I have brought all my food from home (lunch and tea) for 2 weeks except for on fridays, so my aim of eight out of ten is being stuck to. Will try for another good week!

am having a bit of a spending save this month as am on emergency tax at work, hopefuly when I get paid middle of next month it will be all sorted out,

A poor week for me,

Mon and Tues were complete failures, Wed was a good day with only a baguette being brought, thursday I worked from home and today I brought in some slow cooked pork belly leftovers I made yesterday.

Spent £5.50 this week...

Did some forward planning this weekend (impressive for me as I'm a man!) and went down to M&S and stocked up on soups for the desk drawer, have four different types of soups in my drawer now so that should handle the times I forget to bring something in.....

I also remembered to pack leftovers yesterday so i have some lovely pork belly leftovers to get through today

So today is one for one!

Have leftover pasta bake today, nom nom nom! Also made a vat of lentil soup yesterday so I'll go through that during the week.

So this morning I have made my BNS soup which has gone into the freezer. Plan for lunches this week:-

Today : finish off tomato, pepper and lentil soup
Tomorrow and probably until Thursday: pea and ham soup
Friday/weekend : BNS soup

Happy monday.

Today is veggie chilli and a wrap. Breakfast was teacake.
Tonight the food shopping arrives :j tomorrow will likely be chill again and rest of week fruit, bagel and yoghurt.

Nearly mucked up today - got a ready meal out of the freezer and then realised it couldn't be microwaved! Put it in the work freezer (I know I am lucky to have one) and scavenged some toast and luckily had yoghurts left over from last week.
So still on track - yesterday had left over Sunday food (Jamie O's Spicy Meat Gumbo) and today was definitely my least orgaised day. Going to take my soup into work and keep it there in case this happens again!

Well done everyone - not long to go!

Off the hook today - we're stressed to bits at work so my boss brought us out to lunch as a suprise today! So my baked potatoes and soup will wait for tomorrow. I have two days worth of lunch in the fridge and friday we have a catered meeting, so woot I think I will make it through the entire month with no spends at all! Amazing!

I managed another one yesterday, which I'm pleased about! I was inspired by some of the posts earlier in this thread and heated some vegetables and added some random vegetables to it - it was pretty good. Had it with a crusty white roll, and I've got some leftovers for tomorrow.
