May save on work lunches challenge

Nottoobadyet
Posts: 1,754 Forumite

Where has the year gone!! May already.
Anyway, the idea is simple - try to save as much money as you can by bringing food into work instead of buying it. I know that I had been spending as much as £5 on lunches out before I started really focusing on bringing my food in - it's saved me loads of money and I hope it can be encouraging you too. There are lots of good food ideas floating around, so feel free to ask.
Please post your target in big letters so I can update the master list.
