A Lunch box would be very handy haven't had one since the Blue Thomas the Tank one I had at school.
Currently reuse a plastic bag unitl my lunch starts falling out the developing holes.
Current spend on lunch is about £1 - £1.50 in a packed lunch styley. Though have just got back from Lunch with friends today which set me back £6, but has filled me up nicely!0 -

Mon-Thurs I usually bring my own lunch which consists of salad & fruit, or crispbread and houmus. Friday usually do something different and this will vary between £3-£5.0

As little as possible, cuppa soup and fruit trying to lose a few lb's!!:j0

About £1.50 a day on average - try & take leftovers in to heat up in the microwave, but don't always manage & have to buy something about twice a week, plus every month or so lunch in a pub with workmates.
I like to have something hot, just butties doesn't seem enough for the whole day, so if I haven't got leftovers I buy soup or a baked potato.
Would LOVE a proper lunch box & thermos!
*fingers crossed*
