    Hi Everyone :j

    Could I please join in with your fab challenge?
    I've just returned to 12hr shift work so it can be tricky getting the luch thing right (and prepared 1st thing in the morning before an early shift!)
    I would like to think that I will only buy 2 lunches this month, the rest will be from home.

    Today I had leftover Turkey & Bacon Pie, I can't look at another turkey for at least a year :rotfl:

    Good Luck Everyone xx
  • Please I can I join, I have just done a monthly shop so put me down for NIL !!

    Thank you

  • Lentil soup bread and fruit today for me :)
  • Hello.
    I'm new to this one. I'm going to aim for 0 lunches bought at work and I'm vowing to not buy breakfast from work either. I'm also going to try and use leftovers to make my lunch rather than buying stuff (no crisps and chocolate bars brought from the supermarket).

    I'm also off to make stilton and brocolli soup!:p
    Money situation: August low point -2883.24 :(
    September low point -2840.85 (it's going in the right direction):o October low point -2564.98 :p
  • I saved a fortune last year doing this from about August...so i'm going to continue!

    Zero bought lunches for me (all 19 this month from home)

    broccoli and stilton soup for lunch with some crusty bread and loads and loads of fruity tea (i got a massive selection box of teas from santa that i've brought into work to keep me going).
  • Hi - None for me this month

    Got my lunch and tea with me today - well sanwiches and left overs from last nights tea. Hope it lasts me all day
