Hey MSE.com...hey everybody else! Just joined up, what an amazing website - BIG fan of the TV show!! Ok, so I spend about £3 a day on lunch, this is due to the fact that I mostly eat out...& if I don't got no money I go without! So this lunch kit would come in handy, know what I mean...:money:
Goodluck to everybody, may the computer randomly pick the luckiest 50 people!!

I tend to have a large breakfast and dinner, while eating less during lunch. Would estimate that I spend less then £1 on average for lunch every day!"If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of your heart"0

Most of the time I bring a packed lunch, cost of which is around a pound a day. I don't supplement it with anything else. If I fail to bring food due to oversleeping or some other crisis, then that would be £2.02 in the canteen at work. Precise, I know!0
