Saving money on lunches

They say that there is no such thing as a free lunch and they are right!

However there are such things as cheap lunches....... ones that you have made yourselves.

If you buy the ingredients for your lunchtime sandwich or salad then it should cost around 40p per sandwich or salad. Compare this to an average sandwich cost at a shop of around £3.00 and you are saving £2.60 per day. Let's say you work 5 days a week 48 weeks a year then that's an annual saving of £624. You can double your saving if you also bring in your own cordial drink, ownlabel yoghurt etc.. rather than a can of fizzy drink and crisps from the sandwich shop.

You can also make your lunches more healthy which we all know will save in the long term as well.

One final tip ..... if you are a tea/coffee drinker then have one as soon as you get into work and just before you leave. This way it decreases the dependency on having to use your own tea, coffee, water and electricity at home!
