Love the idea of "making" an ice pack with the frozen sponge in the ziplock bag. Must remember that.

I've been making home made soup and taking that to work. So far leek and potato and carrot and coriander are my favourites So far I've saved £30 this month, which is a major saving!

Lol - you know, I debated adding them to the list, but wondered if I'd be adding something peeps couldn't suddenly get hold of, and I'd start an internet craving for no longer available goods :rotfl:

Anyone that is not too fussy about dates on food should have a look at approved foods at the moment they have lots of soups in cartons rather than tins, biscuits, and the small tubs of porridge for about 3 for a quid.
You could buy a months supply for very little money.

Well as its been like 2-3 days since I annoyed you guys I thought I would post lol :rotfl::rotfl:

So I have bought no lunches from work since the 2nd of Jan and at £3 a day of savings I am upto £40 saved in just work lunches.

As for the weekends where I usually was a very bad girl and got a burger king or something for lunch I have not done this for 2 weeks now, did kind of go off track yesterday when I bought a sandwich and coke from the petrol station but then I was busy flying round town lol. But that only cost £3.25 and that's compared to the normal burger king of around £8.5 so I still saved £5.25.

And I have also had no takeaways since the 2nd either, which has been murder but I think I am getting there lol :beer:

So with everything combined its around £100 I've saved so far :D:T:T:T

And thanks for putting the recipes up on the front page, just wish I could do some of the hot stuff I have decided to go for sausages next week as something different to the gammon so shall see how I go with that.

why not buy yourself a foodflask out of your saved money AFK and then you can have hot stuff available?
