  • I haven't bought any lunches this month yet, left over veggie lasagne today, actually looking forward to it instead of some soggy premade sandwich.....

    I'm late on the thread as ever, but aiming for 0 bought lunches, unless I can claim it back on expenses.
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done


  • Doing well this month as I've only bought 1 lunch so far, and that was to celebrate Chinese New Year :)

  • Today I shall be having my first purchased lunch of month with my bestie. I still hope to keep it under £4 though.

    Is it my imagination or is February flying by? I wish all months were like this.
