  • Hi. I guess I spend about 50p if I make it myself, but if I don't have time before I go to work, it's about £4!
  • I tend to bring stuff in when I have to go to the office so about £1, but I let meself down on the tea front, its 48p for a small and 72p for a large so I have to keep remembering to bring a flask - which I dont often do :(
  • :j I Spend approx £2.50 on lunch per day.
  • Always homemade, so roughly £1. Thanks!
  • Hi I spend an average of £6.50 each day, Thanks Joe
  • I always end up spending a fortune, I start the week trying to take a pack up and end it buying sandwiches so i bet it averages out at about £2 a day!!
  • I eat at home. It`s usually left-overs or toast and something, so I`ll call that 1 pound.
    Hubby comes home for lunch, so 1 pound for him plus petrol-about 3 pounds a week.
    Children (2) get 2 pounds each a day for lunch at school/college.
