Lunch so far | March 21, 2011

My favourite lunch....

I’m over a week into this year’s challenge. So far, this is what I’ve had:

Wed 9th: half a tin of spaghetti in tomato sauce, 3 digestives
Thurs 10th: instant noodles, 3 digestives
Fri 11th: half a tin of spaghetti in tomato sauce, 3 digestives

The first week I was pretty hungry, but spend just 47p of the 60p I had (spaghetti – 14p; noodles – 10p; digestives – 23p).

This past week I did a bit better: 95p got me a loaf of bread (47p), two tins of soup (17p each) and another tin of spaghetti (14p). And I still had some biscuits left over from the previous week, so managed the following:

Mon 14th: half a tin of tomato soup, 4 slices of bread, 3 digestives
Tues 15th: half a tin of spaghetti in tomato sauce, 4 slices of bread, 3 digestives
Wed 16th: half a tin of tomato soup, 4 slices of bread, 3 digestives
Thurs 17th: half a tin of vegetable soup, 3 slices of bread, 3 digestives
Fri 18th: half a tin of spaghetti in tomato sauce, 4 slices of bread

It’s pretty dull, but I’ve not been so hungry. And I’ve got three slices of bread and half a tin of soup left for tomorrow, which means I’ve got £1.18 for the remaining four lunches of the week – it might even be enough to buy some fruit!
