That's a saving of about a grand every year. Remember to get an adult to take it out the tin kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I take sandwiches most days, or those pasta mug shot things. There's a snack bar about 30ft away, but eating greasy food then doing heavy lifting isn't great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I’m with @NJ2 here. I spend £5+ every day at work, it saves me the time of cooking up big batches of stuff and having to carry them into work on the train in the mornings. I used to also buy breakfast stuff but have recently started bringing in homemade granola (girlfriend makes it or I’d still be buying stuff) with a wee yoghurt pot. However, I also hate eatin the same things every day so the idea of making a big lasagne and eating it 3 days in a row sounds awful to me, and don’t get me started on shitehole sandwiches or cup a soup type efforts - utterly depressing. I’m happy enough to pay for nice food tbh. I’d say it’s about 30% laziness, 70% wanting to eat nice stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 A filled roll/ sandwich, packet of crisps, chocolate biscuit, piece of fruit for packed lunch saves you a fortune. Prepare it during the six minutes it takes for your porridge to simmer in the morning and it sets you up for the day... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I don't think there's anything wrong with buying lunch every working day. I've just decided I was fed up of the cost and would rather save the cash for something better. Since taking rolls to work I've noticed I'm not as hungry as I used to think I was. I take two rolls but find one generally fills me in the morning and I'll maybe have the other later on. I don't have a lunch hour so eat at strange times, but in the past I'd get a footlong subway or a KFC/McDs and eat it because I thought I'd better fill up. It seems I don't need as much as I thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I've experimented with taking stuff into work, but without more planning than I feel the project deserves, it all too often descends into a choice between cheese or cheese the following day. A mate of mine at work used to bring in the same thing every single day before he got married - boiled egg and raw onion sandwiches. He gave me one to try once and they were surprisingly good, but by Christ, they stank. People down the far end of an open plan office would sniff the air about noon and roll their eyes: "f**k, Smiddy's opened his pieces..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
