I always bring in food from home (in manky old lunch boxes!) as I resent having to pay £3 or so for a sandwhich that's actually not that healthy or tasty! I'll make a batch of soups in winter and salads in the summer, or bring in what was left from the night before so I would say less than £5 a week.
I'm trying to get my boyfriend into packed lunches too as he spends a fortune on shop-brought ones.
Good luck!0 -
