    Hello, can I join please?


    Lunch spending is a huge one for me- I started using YNAB last year and it's been a big shock to see how much I'm spending on disappointing food for lunch.


    It'll take serious planning to get into the habit but I'm going to give it a try! At the moment I'm only focusing on taking in my main food item and I'll allow myself to buy the snacks/cans I'm used to, but eventually I want to cut those down too.


    I have 22 days in the office this month, and have 2 planned lunches out, which seems more than fair, so can you put me down for 20 days please?


    Yesterday I had panzanella salad with ham (bread gone stale and so rescued in the salad, and ham left over from Christmas :money:). I just had half a tub of soup I had in the freezer- I had intended the other half for tomorrow but it was horrible so I'll have to think of something else tonight!

    Hiya,

    Welcome to the club :)

    I've added you to the list on page 1, I've also put you down for 1 LTW day, let me know if this is incorrect and I'll change it.

    Dau enaid ond un taith.

    Please count me in on this. I'm working at least 22 days this month, so will aim for at least 18/22 to account for the odd day of frivolity/payday treats!

    3/3 so far :)
