It's January 2nd and, chances are, you have high hopes to become healthier over the coming twelve months.
Also, your bank balance has probably taken a battering over the festive season so the life-transforming gym membership might have to wait for a few more weeks.
Worry not, as one simple step could solve both of these worries.... bringing in your lunch to work.
It's crazy the amount of money that even the most financially savvy of us spend on lunches over the course of the year, especially as its so easy to throw together something super tasty at home.
Invest in some lunchboxes (Dealz have really cheap ones) and you'll never look back.
Here are a few recipes to start you off...
Is there anything more comforting than a warm bowl of soup? This is cheap as chips and will last in the fridge for a few days.
Forget boring sambos and try these delish stuffed peppers instead.
The addition of goat's cheese adds some serious flavour and a touch of indulgence to this tasty salad.
Need something substantial to get you through the day? This casserole is the perfect winter warmer. Prep the night before and heat in the microwave for a few minutes - easy!
Trying to add some more fruit to your diet? Start with this tuna wrap, which you can eat at your desk, in the car or anywhere you like.
If you're a fan of Asian flavours, you'll love this. Better still, there's a cook-a-long video in real time so you can't go wrong.
If you haven't used ginger in a stir-fry yet, you're missing out as it really rounds out the flavour of the dish.
