Please sign me up. I've brought lunch in since the beginning of the month already but that's not normal. I was going to buy lunches after tomorrow but will delve around in the cupboards at home for womething instead. I think I'll try to keep this going in September as well.Jan GC £96.95/£120; NSD 26/31

Hi,
Can I join in too? I'm on a tight budget most months and I really need to start bringing in lunch more often. I'm aiming for no bought lunches for the rest of august.

I work in a school so get lunch provided in term time, holidays I have to fend for myself. Lunches brought - 0, food from home every day - salad, soup and fruit. Salad from garden, soup homemade, fruit is strawberries/raspberries from local 'pick your own' farm. Am delighted to report that I am turning into my mother ie not spending when I can do better myself.0
