Posted by gmbmfb in : monthly challenge , trackbackWell today marks the end of Week 2 of the February-March Lunch Challenge. Woo!!! For those of you who have started already, how did you do?
For those who are on the fence about joining, this is your last day to sign up! :)
- krystalatwork – brought my lunch all 5 days. Except today I forgot to bring the tuna for my salad. So I just snacked on granola bars and fruit instead.
- The BF – almost slipped up, but made it through the week just fine.
- L – “It’s been an alright week. I slipped up on Wed. and bought dessert! Whoops.”
- asgreen – “Did great! Helped that I was out Mon. and Tues. But brought my lunch on Wed. & Thurs and I have a lunch meeting with free lunch today.”
- SJean – ” I brought lunch four days and had free work lunch one day!”
- ntbeachnc – “I brought breakfast and lunch all five days, and turned down two offers to go to lunch.”
- No More Debt – “I worked 16 hour days most days (2 jobs) and brought 2 lunches each day. I had one day where lunch just wasn’t enough and spent a few dollars at McD’s in between jobs (it was cheaper than going home).”
- Grad School Girl – “I was home sick on Tues. and had someone buy my lunch on Thurs. so no money spent on lunches other than my grocery budget! Woo! I also brought leftovers on Wed.”
- SavingDiva – “I was at home sick on Mon., Wed., and Thurs. However, on Tues. and Fri., I brought chicken noodle soup from home to work. No money spent on eating out for any meals.”
- Vinelady – “I brought my breakfast and lunch all five days. This was made easier by making a couple of basic dishes on the weekend. It is amazing how many ways you can change up noodles.”
- Little Miss Moneybags – “Mon. I forgot my granola bars and made a vending machine run. Tues. I forgot my LUNCH but remembered my granola bars (only spent $2.25 on soup, though). Thurs. I was taken to lunch via a standing lunch engagement (it’ll be my turn to pay sometime in March). Wed. and Fri. I got a gold star!”
- Matt – “I’m over 2 weeks without spending a dime on lunch. I’ve turned down 2 requests for lunch outings. I drink coffee or water, and don’t snack, even though we have a cheap drink machine and plentiful Little Debbies.”
- Michelle – “I spent a total of $0.29 this week. I had lunch at work everyday and lunch was provided at a meeting on Wed. Thurs., I went to Starbucks. I had a gift card but came up $0.29 short on my purchase. But hey, $0.29 is a lot better than spending $40, like I usually do.”
- Kate – “I spent $1.00 this week on a can of soda. I had brought one with me to work, and left it in the fridge, but then my boss drank it by accident. She’s bringing me one next week, so it’ll all even out!”
- Erika – “I did well, except Monday. I spent $15 (my turn to buy). But I’m shooting for 100% in March!”
- Niki – “Thumbs up! I made it all week with a free lunch from work on Friday. Can’t complain about free.”
