    Hi All,

    I had a no spend lunch today. I brought in a baking potato and a tin of beans. Wayhay! :j

    Got to buy a loaf tomorrow but it will last me all week and I already have ham in the work fridge.

    hello all, I should join this group as I am terrible with spending on 'lunch' every day. I work in a newsagents, and also in a supermarket - temptation is all around me! I should think that 90% of my weekly wage ends up going back to my boss! nevermind that I've got pcos and really shouldn't be eating all the sugary goodies... :rolleyes:

    my cat is evil and wakes me up with howling and often a paw with claws to my head! it's so cold, I knew I wouldn't get back to sleep - and we leave for work just before 5 anyway!

    I was remarkably good today and had only asda cheapy noodles for lunch, kept my hands warm too by eating them from a plastic picnic bowl :)
  • SO far this week I'm managed to not buy any lunch. Today I could have bought some lunch as I was in Birds but decided to go home instead and get something.

    Haha - mine just wakes me up with her snoring!! Somehow cuter than OH though so I dont mind it!

    I had a lovely plate of food at the meeting yesterday but we ended up starting early so I didn't get chance to eat it! It was sitting there looking at me - a lovely chicken kebab thing with my fave courgettes and aubergine - oh boo hoo! Finishing that strong garlic pasta sauce off today. Think I may have skimped on the pasta a bit, but I have a multipack of Curly-Wurlies in my drawer if I get desperate :D

    Well I was slightly organised and brought in 4 slices of bread for today and tomorrow's sandwiches + 2 packets of crisps. I already have yoghurts and apples here. I'm on a bit of a chocolate binge at the moment though so spent 40p on some Mars Planets :o

  • Cheese sandwiches yesterday and minestrone cup-a-soup with bread today. Not very exciting but nice and cheap!

    Was a member about six months ago but have unfortunately fallen off the wagon! But i'm back on now! So, no more than £5 to be spent per week on lunches- less if possible!! That should make me take stuff from home! :)
