Hi, I usually bring a packed lunch to work every day at an average cost of about £2. If I do buy lunch from the canteen I usually spend around £3-£3.50.
Hope I get a lunch box!
Thanks.

my lunch spend varies.
If I take my own lunch then maybe £1, but sometimes I buy lunch and a coffee and this can be up to £5.
As an average I spend about £15 across the week, so I would guess it to be about £3 per day.0 -
About £1.80 th £2.50 every day, depending on the menu.
Used to be subsidised more, but my employers are feeling the pinch too!

I'd say we probably spend £4.00 per day - daughter at school takes a packed lunch, wife takes money for subsidised canteen and little 'un and I find something either in the cupboard or fridge. Most of it comes out of the weekly food budget though.:beer:Proudly paying as little as possible for stuff since birth:beer:0
