Technically i spend nothing as my work provides free lunches (and they are quite good!) but i still take food into work for my breaks.. so prob about 70p per day...0
-
My lunch is usually an apple and a banana, costing about 50p.0
-
I spend as little as possible. I'm out in the car all day, so I usually make my own sandwiches, and take a bottle of juice made up at home. And take a hot drink in my flask to keep me going. I probably spend less than 50p per day :j0

Between 40p & 80p. Take Pack up every day except last Thurs in month when we take advantage of local Pubs Lunch deals then blow the budget and its £6 for a two course meal.0
-
I make my own sandwiches so it is probably about £1 per day.0
-
I think it probably averages at around 50p a day as I'm a great one for leftovers for lunch if I don't make any - and we have a team lunch in the canteen once a fortnight which normally doesn't cost more than £2.50.

Counting my son and husband's lunch in we spend £5 on lunch a day.0

I take my own lunch to work, so spend about £1 a day, but I would love a lunch kit from food waste reduction, to help encourage my colleagues to do the same!!0
-
I have to confess I am awful with my lunches. Part of it is laziness and part of it is horrible memories of school packed lunches. I spend about £3.50 at lunch and then another £1.50 during the day on snacks and other treats that are not good for the waistline.0

about £2 per meal coz eating well is the best reward I get for myself everyday.0
