    I take a salad to work each day which my wonderful husband prepares for me each morning!
    Not only is it fresh - good for me - all that I like in it - but very cheap!
    Probably about 50p?

  • About £1 a day, I make my own lunch at home, or take a packed lunch.

    It's only a game

    Probably about £2 for a sandwich.
  • I spend about £1.50
  • I spend around 50p per day as I lunch at home. Even when I lunch at work I would be hard pressed to spend much more than that as I always have a packed lunch.
  • about £3-4 for sandwich/tea

    Home made roll, some cherry tomatoes and satsumas, generally. I probably spend about a pound a day, though it depends on what's on offer at the supermarket.

    I used to get lunch every day at the shop at work, until I worked out I was spending about £750 a year on it. Now I have half that much in my pocket, which is a much nicer feeling - and the food's whatever I want it to be!
  • I spend about 50p a day as I just eat bananas at work, as Im on a health kick !!
