Day one today - cheese beetroot and salad cream sandwich, with kit kat and miller light yoghurt. Probably saved around £3 and took 5 minutes this morning
I have just cooked tikka masala for tea and have packed up a box for lunch tomorrow
Thank you0 -
Ham salad sandwiches with a handfull of almonds, some fruit and a penguin. Didnt resort to fancy coffee as relatively not stressed. Have stock piled in draw ready for a BAD day.

Hello, can I join please?
Lunch spending is a huge one for me- I started using YNAB last year and it's been a big shock to see how much I'm spending on disappointing food for lunch.
It'll take serious planning to get into the habit but I'm going to give it a try! At the moment I'm only focusing on taking in my main food item and I'll allow myself to buy the snacks/cans I'm used to, but eventually I want to cut those down too.
I have 22 days in the office this month, and have 2 planned lunches out, which seems more than fair, so can you put me down for 20 days please?
Yesterday I had panzanella salad with ham (bread gone stale and so rescued in the salad, and ham left over from Christmas :money:). I just had half a tub of soup I had in the freezer- I had intended the other half for tomorrow but it was horrible so I'll have to think of something else tonight!"I don’t keep up with the Joneses, I try to drag them down to my level" - Quentin Crisp0
