A bit late checking in, but 9/12 so far. I had a wobble today when a menu went around for an office lunch out next week, but at nearly £10 I decided to stay strong and bow out. It will be a frugal month in February so must stay with it!0

The lovely little market town that I work in has a Friday market, which includes a man who makes the most amazing paella. I allowed myself 2 days of 'non-home-prepared lunches' this month. So far I've had 1. I can make sure I have 5 pack up lunches next week...
I'm having paella tomorrow :rotfl:0 -

Not updated all week and its been a bit mixed!
Monday I had packed my lunch and then OH got called into work so he took it instead (easier for me to buy food than him). Tues I took leftover HM pizza. Weds and Thurs I purchased and then today I took HM beef rolls. I've not purchased breakfast but have had one coffee so far.
I've learnt from this month that I need to have back ups 'just in case'.
13 out of 18 so far for me.Formally liuhut

Quick check in to say no coffees bought at work and all lunches brought in since my last check in on the 16th.
Was a slow start, with a few coffees bought at the start of January, but getting there now. Also, just one takeaway bought this month, which is a massive improvement on past months.
I've bought some sachet latte packets to bring into work this week for a treat. It's getting freezy and I think I'm going to need a pick me up!!
How is everyone doing?19/12/14: Spent 10 years of savings!!
:heart2: ..... to buy my first home. :heart2:
