    Hi, could I please tag along with 16/19 home made lunches.

    I have already bought a lunch in Boots today and was hungry on the way home so bought a roll from the bakers:o

    Two lunches out with friends already arranged.

    Plan for leftovers all next week.

  • Going strong......got pasta and some leftover salad from last nights tea (pizza & salad) which i'm going to add some more sweetcorn and peppers to (I have a tin in my stash in the cupboard at work). I've also brought in a couple of mullerlights from home too and an apple. I dont have a single penny in my purse either so wont be tempted to buy :0)
  • I had soup and crackers on Friday and same again today, so 3 out of 4 so far.

  • Well last month I did'nt even buy myself the possible 2 lunches I could have had!!:A

    Same again this month please! No more than 2 bought lunches out of 22 I need to try and stick to it this month as I booked a holiday for two weeks at the end October with OH.
    Not very MSE I know but we hav'nt had a holiday for over three years and we need the break away:cool: and my savings on not buying lunches went in the holiday kitty!!

    Swampy
    Expect the worst, hope for the best, and take what comes!!:o

    Trying to make space in the freezer so today I had HM chicken soup from the freezer with a roll and tomorrow I've got a chilli also from the freezer. Still on 0 bought lunches:j

  • Hello! Can I join please? Money and my waistband are a bit tight now that my OH and I have got our own place, so in the interests of spending less and eating better I'm going to try and make my own lunches every work day starting today so that makes 18 days for me please!

    Today is couscous and vegetables - very MSE as they're mostly freebies from my Dad's allotment :money:and a Muller Greek corner which was £1.49 for six in the co-op - they have a long sell by date on them so I think I'll stock up as it's such a good deal.

    Can anyone direct me to the 'main thread' as mentioned in the first post please? Thanks!
