I'd like to join in this!
2 days, 2 lunches brought from home.
Been terrified at the state of my finances recently and this is one way of getting them back on track. It might seem small given I've just dropped £430 on car insurance but every little helps!0 -
I took cheese sarnies to work today and will have the same tomorrow because they were yuuummmeeeeee!
In fact I'll probably take cheese for the rest of the week now.DMP member no 390

Just about to make tomorrow's lunch, must remember to take a drink too, almost bought a bottle of coke today which I would count as failing ...If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.0

Great idea - I will be more organised and leave home with lunch. No more Greggs for me. I can't believe the price of even a can of coke in some shops £££
Put me down for 0 lunches this month (although I am only working 3 days a week for the duration of August...)

Just made a big batch of Spanish rice - got 7 portions out of it! So that'll be lovely with baked potato and a bit of grated cheese
for my lunches!
