    I try to take my own lunch but when I don't I tend to go to Greggs as I can get a Salad sandwich and a soup for £1.80.

    I take a box of salad, or sandwich or leftover which i'm eating now. So would average £1 a day or less i should think.

    I reckon I spend about £4.50 a day on lunches! Imagine that at the end of the year!

    I have a HM sandwich and a bag of crisps (out of a multipack) so way less than a pound a day

    I normally bring in soup and something with rice so probably just over £1.00. Or if I want to treat myself will buy a nice sandwich for about £3.

    I'm terrible.

    I spend lots.

    About £5 each day on packaged fruit (melon, grapes, pineapple), and up to another £5 on lunch itself. It's not unusual for me to spend over £300 in a month on food for work

    I always take left over meals to work and so it would be hard to estimate a price probs around 50p! A free flask would be great...
