Lunch Log Challenge 2008

Discount-Diva_3

Hi would like to join this challenge too, I can spend around £6 a day at work!

Sainsburys have Pepsi max at 6 for £1.22 so stocked up on that, at work it costs me 60p a can so doing it this way and taking them to work i get 4 cans for nothing!!

I decided on Wednesday to start taking my lunch

Weds 9th crisps @ 35p
Thurs 10th - got taken out to lunch!
Friday 11th Crisps @ 35p

So officially I will start on Monday 14th

Weekly lunch spend.......

Monday, Tues & Friday zilch (lunch bought for me :j )

Weds zilch - Cereal bars

Thurs zilch - took lunch to work.

Total spend was £1.09 - bought a tea at station on Friday as freezing & soaked - small price to pay for sitting in warmth for 20 mins. And I did buy cheapeast hot drink. And I had just saved £20 as had promised someone lunch weeks ago but we both were treated by someone else .


Aiming for zilch next week, but Thurs will be tricky as am away the night before :think:

Mon -Thurs £0
Fri £2.47

Well thanks Cassie for starting this thread, I'm really chuffed with myself cos I only bought a school dinner once this week and obviously it had to be Friday as it's chip day! I normally have school dinners everyday so my normal spend is £12.35 so I have saved £9.88 this week :money:

I think im gonna kinda "meal plan" for this weeks lunches to try stop me ending up woth tins of soup for lunch - if im lucky!

Monday - cold rice with peas etc salad and chicken (left over from today)
Cuppa soup, twix (from xmas selection box), choco crispy cake (making with my little girl today)

Tuesday - Left over shepherds pie from dinner on monday. Snacks unknown
Wednesday - Pasta tuna bake. Snacks unknown
Thursday - Cheese and pickle sandwich, crisps, riveta, snacks unknown
Friday - Left over lasagna from Thursday dinner. Snacks unknown.

This may change when i have done all the normal meal planning for the week and know what snacks we have in.

Im really bad and like to snack all day in my office!

I've done ok - not perfect, but definitely better than usual.

I had one day of unnecessary spending at lunchtime but it was only £1 so not too bad - it was bread and butter pudding and custard, so I just could not resist!!

I have started dieting within the last couple of days too, so hopefully that will keep me out of the canteen, where puds rule!! If I take my salad /soup instead I have more chance of success in the lunch challenge as well as the diet one!

Has anybody used one of those Thermos Food Flasks, the short stubby ones that have a spoon attached for taking hot food to work? I have seen them in Sainsburys and my DS wants one for school but I'm wondering a) if they actually keep the food warm, b) what to put in it and c) if he'll make a complete mess (he's 5!).

I can then give him left overs which is a bit more exciting than a sarnie.

Hypno, do you work in a school? Our Bread and Butter pudding at school is amazing! So is the choc pudding, the spotted d i c k, the oaty apple crumble, the lemon pudding, etc etc :rolleyes:
