    I spend about £1 a day. It could be a lot cheaper if I force the moneysaver inside me into action. I bring in my own food as the bistro downstairs is horriffically expensive.
  • I spend about £4

    At home, I usually have left overs from dinner for lunch the next day, so the cost is negligable. If I go out for the day, a pack like the giveaway would be a good investment as a salad bowl from the local bakery costs £4-50.

  • I'm at home for lunch so usually it's less than £1 & sometimes there's leftovers from night befores so it costs nothing. Yipee!
  • I spend about £2.00 on lunch each day.
  • thanks
    £1.00 a day
  • Normally £2.79 for veggie soup from EAT or Pret, slice of bread and fruit free from work.

    Or FREE as I will bring in my left overs from dinner the night before - stir frys, pastas, salads or home made soups.
  • Take my own sandwich...whatever the kids have in theirs is what i end up with in mine! cost approx 50p each,depending on whether its egg mayo for example, or ham / meat.:D
  • Hmm. I would say I spend about £3 every day on lunch. WAY too much!
