June's 'Take Your Lunch To Work' Challenge

The_Only_Girl

Hi good morning, all! It promises to be a good day, weatherwise, albeit a bit windy, but not as much as yesterday.

Just a quick check in to report NSD no. 5 yesterday and LTW no. 6. Went to work yesterday (3-11pm shift) so no opportunity to spend. Yippee!

Today is a spend your day though, weekly groceries, petrol, etc. lots household chores and gardening on the cards today, so I might not be online much.

LTW number 4 on Friday

Brunch in theonlygirl's household has just finished - French toast with golden syrup. Slightly naughty but very MSE because I used up the loaf of white bread in the fridge that was best before yesterday and the partially opened skimmed milk. I didn't use oil at all, just a very thin layer of butter on each side and voila the family's slightly indulgent all time favourite breakfast. Now off to shine my sink and fly clean the garden before I go out for my weekly shopping.

Today was a brunch of toast,marmite and banana,then stewed fruit,yogurt and wheatgerm.
I keep forgetting to add wheatgerm.It's so nice as well,sprinkled on top with fruit and yogurt.it's a good source of protein too.
Today is #7.

Hi! I'd like to join please. I'm really bad at buying 'deals' for lunch and the occasional breakfast, and ooo, don't forget the vending machine, so this could help me make a real saving. I'd like to aim for 12 for the rest of June - give myself a few days leeway whilst I get in the habit.

This is exactly what i used to be like before i started this challenge. I used to spend about £10-£15 a DAY on lunches and snacks :eek:

Good luck


My Lunch today was 2 pitta stuffed with salad and baby vine tomatoes. Oh my, they were so sweet and juicy!

I know, it was ridiculous! And i was moaning about being skint, LOL! I estimate i was blowing about £800 a month on food.

I have now got my food bills down to about £400 a month, and aim to get to down to £300.

Hi, I'm a little late to the party but can I join you all please? Some lush sounding lunch suggestions, I'm going to start by copying sandieb's yummy sounding pasta salad with mozzarella and tomatoes Also the cost of school lunches is horrendous so DD will also be joining the challenge (not that she knows it yet!)

Down by half,that's a great achievement.But £800 is mind boggling....
One step at a time will get you there though.

Hi Freyasmum! :hello:
Good luck with the challenge.
