    It's not just food, it's 'bad for a lunch logger's budget' food... ;)

    Afternoon all

    How lovely to see so many new people, welcome one and all.

    I'm so on a roll with my lunch logging (but not today :o ). I think part of my downfall was I was feeling defeated if I'd spent ANYTHING so, as Maz says, I'm keepin' it real.

    Monday - homemade sandwiches and ham, M&S crisps, juice & white choc cookie £2.90
    Tuesday - Left-over-last-night Mac & Cheese, Asda diet coke
    Wednesday - baguette with egg mayo, crisps, diet coke -£4.20:mad:

    Well I already had bread, ham and pickle at work so today I brought in some cheese from home and spent 40p on a packet of crisps as I forgot to bring them in! :rolleyes:

    my first visit here.....hi :D

    I work in the city so any shop bought lunches can be quite expensive so I'm trying to save money by taking my own lunch (and breakfast) to work.

    so far this week I have not drawn any money out of the bank and I haven't had any money in my purse. I make toast for breakfast and I have made pasta/pesto/pine nuts for my lunch and brought in fruit and nibbles from home.

    Feels really good !

    Yep, Maz am OFF the Irn Bru wagon for a bit. Was starting to taste like Lucozade to me so I'm having a wee break.

    Frugallass pasta/pesto/pinenuts are my idea of heaven. Throw in some spinach or fine beans and you've got a deal.

    My £4.20 lunch was rank. Total rubbish. Won't do that again. Tomorrow if I get a fit of the lazy-article's I'll give myself a stern talking-to and make my lunch before I leave.

    Hi All,

    a nsd for me :money:

    I have brought in last nights left overs of chicken mini fillets & ceasar salad. :j Would have cost a bomb in the supermarket for this!
