    I'm looking to cut spending on food as I spend way too much on snacks and lunch at work.

    What do you have for lunch and how much does it cost you?

    I don't have lunch. I eat a full breakfast bacon egg etc. then I have a few nuts with a cup of tea for lunch because I'm not hungry
    If you must have lunch, definitely take it with you!

    @nisseki there’s a great what’s in your lunchbox thread going here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6503501/whats-in-your-lunchbox

    It slowed down during the August holidays but it’s ripe for restarting. At 17 pages it’s also full of great ideas and menus. 🙂
