Well, I have failed - in total I have bought 3 lunches so far.

Don't be so hard on yourself, buying an extra lunch is not that bad, I'm sure you've saved yourself lots of money buy doing the lunches challenge

Now I just have to stick to all of this and set a realistic aim for Feb.

It's all a learning curve, like you I too have collected tins and packets at work for the days I forgoten to bring my lunch.

Please may I join this challenge too

I am going to only buy lunch on a Friday. The rest of the week I will bring from home, but need to ensure they cost less than the normal £2.20 I spend on a sandwich, so I will look for tips on what to bring in from you lot

Never actually commit to this so put me down for 4 bought lunches, although it's almost Feb already. January was a bit of a right off i'm afraid...

I've added you to the list but your welcome to fully join us in February.

Hi guys,

So I have barely been joined for a week but I have been successful so far. No work lunches for me or OH and no last minute school dinners for DS either.

Im all set for feb, bring it on I say!! So far, at least £50 has been saved as a result of this and I am so very proud of myself! Home made chips and crisps are done for tomorrow, will make myself some couscous to go with it. OH is working a backshift tomorrow so he will have his lunch and tea in the house.

super!

Yay done it. Today I've brought in a ready meal from the freezer and salad. Monday off so January completed.:j:j

Mr Green please would you put me down for no more than 1 bought lunch in Feb?

DaisyMoo

Thanks Mr Green - I think I will try 3 for Feb and see how I get on!

Only a single £1 sandwich for me this month, excluding food bought when working away which i can claim on expenses :T

Unless things go massively pear shaped on Monday, I've beaten my target this month! Yay!

Mr Green - you up for running next months challenge, or shall I? I'll be away in the middle of the month for a bit but will be around for the busy first week or two.

MrGreen

Nottoobadyet - Your welcome to look after the challenge next month, I could do with a break!!

Morning all

I have got a mystery pot out of the freezer for my lunch today! It has quorn, peppers, mushrooms and some kind of brown sauce - it might be curry or if not it might be hotpot! It has no smell while still frozen so it will be a surprise - I must learn to label stuff! Whatever it is, I will have it with pitta bread.

On target for the challenge so very pleased. I have spent twice on breakfast but not bought any lunches.

Will carry on into February so please sign me up for next month. Well done folks
