    Yesterday had leftover roast chicken and salad rolls and today i've got a posh paella thing that was 90p in the bargain bin yesterday. 90p is a bit expensive for a lunchbox but it was reduced from £4!!

    Tomorrow it will be either HM chicken soup or HM cauliflower and potato curry (whichever i can't fit in my freezer!)

    Good luck everyone :j

  • Tuna and sweetcorn pasta for me today ... and the same again Thurs and Fri as I made a fair bit of it! 4/4 so far!

  • Made myself a meat feast wrap for lunch today and managed some cereal for breakfast, so shouldn't have to spend anything today.
  • I was particularly lazy this morning, and although I was planning on making some tuna mayo, I didn't get round to it and as a result no dinner for me today :(

    Am I reading this right? You're not having any lunch at all because you haven't brought any from home? That seems a bit harsh... :(

    5/5 for me, tuna pasta again ... zzzzzzz...

  • Hmm, bought some stuff that was reduced from the Co-Op last night while shopping to bring for my lunch today, spending a total of about £2.

    However, had a bit of a fall out with the missus this morning so went to work without bothering with breakfast, meaning I've just spent 50p on a bag of crisps :(

    Today going down as a fail.
  • Hi, can I please join this challenge? I'm aiming for 20 days of bringing lunch from home. So far I've managed 4 from the beginning of October.

    Yeah... sounds harsh I know, but didn't have enough money with me to get anything substatial either. Was going for a NSD too so 50p for a packet of crisps sounds extortionate...

    And I sound like a crazy person... :p :rotfl:
