Tighten up!

I've been having a look at what I spend each month and you know? I waste so much by not making my own lunch....it's just too easy to go grab a sarnie from the shop!

But I'm making a new resolution and that is to not only take a bagged lunch but to prepare and plan for it.
I already do a spot of Once a Month Cooking and it really does save money, and time in the long run. I can tired and cranky and not in the mood for cooking yet have a home cooked meal on the table in half an hour with minimal fuss and I love that!
I've been so busy lately that I haven't done any batch cooking and boy does it show in the old bank balance!
Because I haven't had the ready standbys I've been phoning out for takeaway and it's costing a BOMB!

So for now I'm going to be buying all those two for one deals and cooking up a storm on my days off! And just because I'm mean I'm gonna share with you! I'm going to put the money saved (about £3 a day) aside and then have a worry free Christmas next year (I hope)!
