monthly challenge
For those who have been doing the February-March Lunch Challenge with me since the beginning, this is the end of WEEK 4!!! You guys have been doing so well. Only 2 more weeks to go, and we have a long weekend coming up, so keep up the great work! :)
On that note, how did you do this week?
- The BF – brought his lunch all 5 days.
- Bouncing Back – “Managed to bring my lunch each day, and I have some decent meals planned for next week as well.”
- change is a good thing – “Again, brought my lunch all week. Today I am going out to eat, but the company is paying for it. Does that count?” (of course that doesn’t count!)
- JanePlain – “Failed Mon. & Tues., but was a shining example all Tues. through today! :) In fact, I worked late so I used my lunches from Mon. & Tues. as dinners!”
- VineLady – “Made it through the week. Had to bring lunch and dinner one day since I was working late.”
- L – “Didn’t do so good this week. A friend canceled a “her-turn-to-treat-lunch” and silly me didn’t bring a lunch, so I ate out. Wed. I slept in and completely forgot to pack something. Every other day I’ve been on track, though.”
- K9-CRAZY – “I’ve brought my lunch since the start but did crumble at a couple coffees. Time to get back on track.”
- Alex – “Brought my lunch everyday!”
- Ellen – “I was doing so well … and then I bought coffee today. Still, that’s a huge savings over my usual lunches! So I’m happy with it. Next week, getting more creative with my lunches.”
- Niki – “Did some planning and I’ve managed to stay on track!”
- GC – “Brought my lunch four days out of five. Thurs. I bought breakfast and lunch. :( I swear next week will be better. My boyfriend did great. He bought NOTHING.”
- Strange Bird – “I did okay. On Mon. a friend forgot her wallet and so I gave her some cash so she didn’t go hungry. Today I had the day off completely, so I will end up spending almost $5 by the time I leave this coffee shop. I’d go home and eat, but I can’t leave until my boyfriend picks me up after work!”
- Kate – “Brought my lunch all week but failed one day when I desperately needed a Diet Coke and chocolate at the end of the day. So I spent $1.84 total.”
- Erika – “Not a great week. Went out with mom and paid, $13. And forgot lunch one day, but spent less than $3.”
- Debt Dieter – “I’ve been doing really well, not a single cent spent between 9-5 on weekdays (I work Mon-Fri) since March 1.”
- HouseHopeful – “I packed breakfast & lunch all week. I ate dinner at home all week as well … but that wasn’t planned. :)”
- HighClassLowIncome – “I had an okay week. I didn’t spend any money on food, but I did manage to spend $6.35 on beverages 2 days out of the week.”
- BeachGirl – “I made it too last week. I brought my lunch Monday-Thursday, and then was home sick on Friday.”
