Hiya all.

If so

Mon 4th August - Tuna salad, crisps and 2 bananas (one for breakfast!)
Tues - will be the same - I make up lunches in batches of 2 especially on a Sunday when I have more time!

I usually post up everyday with what I've eaten/spent but I only work 4 days and count it from 1st of the month.

I think I'll join in cause this is a bad habit for me. I'll probably do it weekly though...

Hi,

Welcome to the lunch loggers I've been amazed at how much I used to spend on my lunches before finding this thread.

So far for Aug it's been NSL's as I've brought bits in from home. Today I had a salmon and cream cheese bagel

Shame about your soup Naomi...at least it send you running to the shops like my quiche disaster did last month!

Spent £6.53 on Saturday buying bread, juice and a stock of tuna tins. There 12 tins so with a little effort in making lunch some of the days I should be covered for lunches this month though I will need juice and bread for breakfasts. I would have put the tuna on the grocery budget as it came with our Asda delivery but with prices going up, I don't have much wiggle room on the grocery budget - especially since I'll have guests for 5 days this month.

Oh I also had to buy a jar of decaf coffee because the doc has told me not to drink the real stuff anf work doesn't stock decaf. They have filter coffee and regular instant but no decaf. Oh well, I only drink one cup a day so the jar ought to last 2 months at least.

My month so far:
1st Aug - Tuna with mayo and sweetcorn on toast
4th Aug - Leftover Chinese takeaway
5th Aug - Working from home
6th Aug - Tuna with tomato sauce and herbs on toast

Good luck to everyone!

Silence on the lunch logger front? Where are you all?!!

Had a successful week - high spend but most of that will last me for the rest of the month so worth it. Yesterday and today I have homemade pasta with me - OH kindly made a big batch of it for my lunches and it might just cover me for next week as well. Plus, I resisted the nuts at the station (though sadly not the free doughnuts at work).

Well done Mouche on resisting the nuts.. donuts are ok, they're free!:rotfl:

I have had no spend on lunches this week. After the minging soup, I brought in salmon & cream cheese and a pack of bagels, total cost about £2.80 but it was on my grocery challenge and not counted as a lunch log spend It might be a bit boring for some eating the same thing everyday, but I also bring in fruit and yoghurts so get to have something different too :rolleyes:

Will see when I go to Mr.T's tomorrow what I'll get for the week. I have to get my cereal for my breakfasts or I might get a loaf as I have some peanut butter at work.

Hi all,

I just found this thread and really enjoyed ploughing through it.

I sort of had a great month in July - I used all my Boots Advantage points (4732 in total) to buy Meal Deals. At the moment, every sixth meal is a free one! Admittedly, I was sort of spending but the points had been on the card for ages and I was strapped for cash in July.

Altogether, I think I spent £2.55 cash on lunches in July - YIPPEE!!!!:T
