    I have been to the shops today and bought ALL THE FOOD :D I suspect I still don't have good ideas for lunches that aren't soup though :o

    I'm going to get a good meal plan done tomorrow and then work on it from there...
  • Have made it 2 weeks back at work and no lunches bought on the morning of. In fact...totally spend has probably been less than a fiver :) big improvement on last year. I'm up to 10/16 and hoping I'll do even better. I have already got 2 days lunch for next week, and 2 other days will be out of the cupboards at OHs (or leftovers) so just 1 day to sort.

    so last week i managed to take lunch on the monday - sausage roll and chicken wings and was then on a course with lunch provided on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

    This week i only managed the three days as the other two i was too lazy. Both days consisted of cheese and crackers. I am now on the truckle of Applewood I brought for half price from Sainsburies.

    Getting to 15 this month may be a struggle as work is very busy at the moment and I haven't been so organised at home.

    Jumping into this thread a little late but I would like to join in. I have got 9 work days till the end of the month and I would like to make all of them "No buying lunch" days. Have made some spicy parsnip soup which is in the freezer as well as having a couple of frozen left over curries. I raid the vending machine a lot so I will aim to have 5 days where I don't!

    Hi Everyone :)

    So, Sausage rolls have been made and LTW plan written!

    For the week:

    Monday- FQ's Lunchsize Sausage Roll, Fruit, Yogurt.
    Tuesday- Same as Monday.
    Wednesday- Tomato soup, Fruit.
    Thursday- Same as Wednesday.
    Friday- Ham and Salad Pitta, Fruit.

    May not seem very exciting, but it'll do me for the week :) Has anyone else made a LTW meal plan?
