Cash Saving: Limit your food spend at work
It might seem a simple one but I recently totted up exactly how much I could save by cutting out my daily work food spend and taking food from home instead. Here's how it goes:
Usual Way - Buy Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks & Drinks
Monday - Canteen Toast (£0.80), Sandwich, crisps, drink (£3.05)
Tuesday - No breakfast (£0.00), Pie, crisps, drink (£2.98)
Wednesday - Bacon Butty (£1.85), Sandwich (£2.05), Chocolate (£0.50)
Thursday - Canteen Toast (£0.80), Baked potato, crisps, chocolate, drink (£3.55)
Friday - McMuffin Meal (£2.59), Pub lunch (£7.00)
Total cost: £25.17
New Way
Take breakfast - toasted teacakes (£1.00)
Make sandwiches - loaf & ham & cheese (£3.95)
Take crisps - (£1.99)
Bag of apples - (£0.99)
Drink work water - (£0.00)
Total cost: £7.93
Just by doing that I've saved £17.24 on one week. Multiply that by your working year and you could save a grand total of £827.52 per year!!!
You can go on holiday for that.

Hi there,
I am a financial blogger looking for guest posts and wondered if you have a spare slot in your writing schedule that we could fill. Our writers are finance professionals and can provide very informational pieces of articles on any desired topic. Would you like to accept a guest post for your blog ?
Let me know if you are interested. It would be a great thing if we can successfully work together. :)
I cordially regret in advance if you find this offending.
Many thanks for your time.
