I have been to the shops today and bought ALL THE FOOD
I suspect I still don't have good ideas for lunches that aren't soup though 
I'm going to get a good meal plan done tomorrow and then work on it from there...0 -
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. *2014 £365/365days - £52/£365* *20p Savers club #17 £12.00/£50*

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.0 -
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!Saving for Christmas 2017 £120/£400 :beer:0
