Can I join please - Lipic? I normally spend £4.10 a day on lunch, 4 time a week and since the beginning of the month I've bought in my own. Trying to cut back where I can to clear debts.0

Pasta, sandwiches and rice is what I've bought in this week to add to my no spend days, another two days to go to complete the month and reach my target of 4/5.

Managed every working day this month .All I have bought is a bottle of water twice on my way home at 3.30pm when I realised I had not had time for a drink since 7am!
So pleased to have avoided the grotty garage sandwiches! (the only place within walking distance of school).0 -
