May save on work lunches challenge

MrGreen

My homous lasted me 4 days in various sandwiches this week. I might get lunch from the canteen tomorrow. As I'll be off Mon and Tues next week I should be within my target, might just buy two lunches this month rather than three.

I'm afraid I bought lunch on Friday it was so sunny outside and I had a baked potato to have in work so I somehow found myself outside buying a salad :rotfl:

Back on track today

mind if I join in for the last week? Have been back at work just over a month and am appalled by how easily I have slipped into the habit of buying lunch:o

aim going forward is to but only one lunch a week so put me down for 5 from home for the balance of May (6 working days I think). Am also going to move the £5 a day (:eek:) I've been spending into my saver account just to see what I have been frittering;)

Welcome, Lucifa!

Today and yesterday its leftovers from two different weekend meals - cous cous salad and pasta bake. A bit of a strange match but scrummy anyway!

Oh no! Didn't count my lunch spend yesterday as was on a tesco giftcard, but today spent £5.58 And will be buying lunch tomorrow as it's a colleague's leaving do. So as long as i don't buy anymore during the week, i'll be fine!!

Brought lunch from home again today:j

But had to buy crisps about 10mins ago to stop tummy making embarassing noises:o

Need to rethink how much lunch to bring I think...;)

hi I know it is almost the end of the month, and I forgot to come on here at the beggining of the month but I have been good.
I buy most of my drinks, crisps, crackers, cous cous and the like from approved foods, I know it is not to everyones taste but it suits me and my family also the budget thanks me.
This week I have ordered a few of the Jacobs snack packs that have a few crackers in a packet to take to work, also a nice little tin of duck pate.
Last month I got about 12 tins of bean salad for a silly price so that should see me through the nice weather for pasta salads, but I have had that almost every day last week, and cous cous this week, so looking forward to the crackers for a change of scenery.

Hi everyone :wave:

All going well for the last week of this challenge for me.

It's been toast and something all round every day - tinned mackerel in spicy sauce, sardines in tomato sauce... you see how inventive I am?!

Tomorrow is tuna mayo pasta or sandwich...

Catch up soon!

Hello!!

Bit late but my challenge since i moved to London two months ago is to bring my own lunch in... so far i have bought only 1 lunch!! and another lunch was paid for... i usually have a nice bagel with ham or my very fave chicken tandoori and coriander mmm or leftovers from the night before... altho sometimes they're VERY ropey and i stick to just bagels for two weeks after lol!!!:rotfl:

I was terrible before... i used to spend at least a fiver a day on food and i got a little bit chunky too i might add!:rotfl:

Ooops - today is a fail - enough leftovers for Hubbles to have risotto for lunch but not enough for me too and I didn't have time to make sarnies this morning. Looks like a Boots meal deal is on the cards...:o:o:o:mad::o
