Count me in for 20 please! I do occasional overtime, so may end up working more than 20 days, but I think that's a nice target to aim for.

Done

I also buy porridge (Oats So Simple type sachets) from the poundshop - £1 for a box of 8. Other people spend £1 on the same stuff but in a pot instead, and obviously that's only one portion.

Not buying already in a tub porridge pots is probably one of my biggest savings! I've started making my own from this a recipe on MortgageFreeInThree (cant post links yet)
Work perfectly and saves an absolute fortune and a fuss on with trying to use the microwave at work!

Hi, can I join in with 15 days, please. Sounds like my kind of thread, and I could do with some motivation from you guys (I usually make it about half of the time). Also got the first one down already today, so 1/15 (left-over salad from the weekend).

I did it! :j

Today was a really long day - I did 9-10 - so I ended up havbing breakfast, lunch and dinner there.

Breakfast was a porridge sachet (8 for £1, so 13p each) with a box of raisins and apricots (12 for £1 so 9p each).
Morning snack was Nik Naks (Asda, can't remember if 16 or 18 for £2 but 13pish each).
Lunch was soup (B+M so about 50p), Mullerlight (12 for £4, 34p each) and Pepperami (5 for £1.50, 30p each).
Afternoon snack Pom Bear (6 for £1, 17p each)
Dinner M+S sandwich (does this count as cheating? I bought it yesterday and took it in, and it was reduced to 85p) and tin of Pineapple (B+M so about 30p).
Also had squash and a carton of Percy Pig juice (50p, but tastes really nice so worth it, and counts as 1 of my 5 a day).

So about £3.31 in total, which is roughly the price of one Boots meal deal (which is what I'd usually buy) - essentially I got 3 meals for the price of 1!

Tomorrow's sandwich is sitting in the fridge ready to go - I made it myself - and I have a small bottle of juice from a large carton instead of Percy.
