    Please put me down for 6 brought lunches in May - high but this is my first effort! I found I was spending £5 per day on drinks etc, so will take my drinks to work :) I want to try and raise £80 by middle of June purely on not spending my dinner money budget :)

    I would also like to sign up! I always get so tempted by boots 'meal deal' that I can easily spend £3 a day!

    Did a big food shop yesterday and there was soup on offer so I cooked a pan this morning and put it in my heat flask so was still warm at lunch. Yummy!
    So, my target is 3 bought lunches in May but hopefully I can do zero :)

    Excellent Bramble - Think I need to do the same - as when I take my own lunch I still end up buying my lunch say tin of beans and sausage but at least it's cheaper than buying a sandwich from M*rks or local butty shop.

    And, if I remember to buy the tins from the supermarket when on offer that will save me even more money than buying at the corner shop in a morning because I am on the last minute (as always!!zzzzzzzz!)

    Enjoy the pasta bake.:)

    It worked very well today! Took coco pops for breakfast, and then had the pasta and a muller corner (and didn't go out at lunch so had no temptation) was totally satisfied all day!

    I love buying tins of ravioli and things like that to have for lunch, warm food is so much more filling that I don't feel the need to nip to the shop for a choccie so much!
