this sounds fab:D
I take a packup every day so I would guess my lunch costs approx £1 max
Good luck everyoneJune Grocery Challenge 270.80/250July Grocery Challenge 0/3000 -
I spend a lot less on lunch than I used to! I think I used to spend about £3 a day in our subsidised canteen plus the odd cup of coffee/tea from the coffee shop at work.
Nowadays I take my own lunch to work - usually sandwiches made with homemade bread, a homemade cake for afternoon snack, fruit salad and plenty of milk so I can make my own tea (although I do still treat myself to a skinny latte occasionally!).
I find it hard to estimate but there's no way it's anywhere near £15 a week!0 -
About a pound a day as I cook my own lunch at home."This site is addictive!"
Wooligan 2 squares for smoky - 3 squares for HTA

I spend less than and certainy no more than a pound. I was particularly pleased one day a few weeks ago when I took to work HM soup, a slice of HM bread (not HM butter though I have done that once!), HM yoghurt with a small spoon of brown sugar (yum, toffee yoghurt) and finally was given a HM cake from a colleague.
I only have to work over lunch twice a week, so how come 2 days a week I make 4 lunches and 2 days I make 5 :eek: ???????????????? I love Fridays, I only have to make 1 lunch box :j0 -
What a great idea. I eat at the staff canteen every day and it's about £3 per meal, give or take 50p. I bring my own milk and tea though so I can have my cuppa without having to resort to the machine in the break room.
Good luck to the rest of you0 -
I can spend anything from less £1 (home made leftovers) to £10 (lunch out). A lunch at the canteen costs between £4-£5.
Please please please please can I have one0 -
Sounds great! I spend less than £1 a day.0
-
on average £2.50 and too scared to use the demotivator tool!:rolleyes:0
