  • I spend less than £1 a day on lunch, bringing cheese spread and ryvita or a home made sandwich/roll. Luckily, I get free fruit, soft drinks, bread/toast and coffee at work, so am usually able to have a free snack if I get desperate! :D

    I either use my advantage points at boots or do their meal deal (£2.99) or I get a subway (cost £7 today!)
  • I spend about £1 - £1.50

  • I spend approx £1.50 per day on packed lunch
  • sometimes i bring lunch to work, that's if i can be bothered to get it ready either the night before or get up earlier than 5am (when I need to leave home) to get it ready :o)
    and if i DON'T get up early, then i spend around £3.00 on a baguette from Pret a Manger or around £5 if i eat in the coffee shop. It really adds up though, especially as I have breakfast in the coffee shop too!!
    I sooo need to save money!!
