    2.17 including vat! this gets a 2 course meal in the canteen.

    Would definitely use the pack to take lunch to work at a fraction of the cost over time.

    We spend about £1, and usually include homemade chutney instead of butter, with the sandwich fillings.

    The chutney was made for next to nothing from the apples off the tree

    If I had to buy my lunch it would prob be around £3.50 but I normally take something so about £1.50
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

    I'm spending about 80-90p a day per person. That's better than a thought it would be! :j
