I'd say about 30-40p these days. Used to be much more (I'd guess around 2 pounds. I've always taken packed lunch but as am now living on incredibly tight budget its much less adventurous.0

Hi,
Well my lunch-time spend depends on where I am!
It can be anything from a couple of apples & satsumas, to a nice pub roast! Over the course of last week, it cost 20.98, so that is about £3 per day!
The REAL question should ALSO ask about Dinner (eve meal), as I suspect that this varies depending on what one eats for lunch!
:j Breafast Like a KING!
:beer: Lunch like a LORD!
Dine like a PAUPER!
The last bit's easy with todays prices!0 -
80p? Ryvita and marmite

Well, as I don't have one of these amazing lunch kits I normally have to buy lunch out in town. It also doesn't help when I have work mates peer pressuring me into normally buying expensive foods. On average I spend around £3 - £5 per day on lunch! But I know if I had one of these lunch kits then I could save £££'s!
Hey I'd even stick a moneysavingexpert.com sticker on it just so people would know where I got it from :A0 -
I spend about £3.50 a day on lunch mainly because I don't always have time (or can be bothered!!) to make it before I go out.0
