I'm definitely up for this one! I plan to buy no more than 3 lunches this month.
It's day two of being back at work and I've remembered to bring in lunch...this is a record for me. Ideally this shoudl save spending £48 this month, and that's better spent on reducing my debts.0 -

Left over pasta and some fruit today - not really enough for a 12hr shift so I will have to raid the fridge and try to be a bit more inventive for Fri (off tomorrow! :j)
Now wheres my dinner? I'm starving!!!0 -
Hi
Can I join in please? I work 3 days per week and am aiming to bring a packed lunch everyday. I keep emergency pot noodles and soup in my desk in case I forget so why have I been spending up to £10 per week?! I have a stack of pepsi max delivered today so I can take 1 per day. about 1/3 of the canteen prices.
So that's 0 bought lunches for me please.
Thank you

As a motivator for us all, how about some of your favorite pack lunches?
I'm a sucker for left overs and homemade soup. I find warm food fills me more so i'm less likely to snack too.
In the summer i like to take frozen fruit salad for mornings, it's lovely frozen, but keeps fresh all day so great to keep on my desk if i'm peckish.Annual Grocery Budget £364.00/£1500
Debt payments 2012 £433.270
