  • I recently done a thorough review of what I spend every month, and was absolutely stunned to realise I spent nearly 8 quid every day on food and drink whilst at work!!! I had thought I'd only spent about 4 quid per day (which in itself is a bit much) but never took into account the sneaky hot chocolate, occasional bottle of coke, mid morning snacks etc.

    This has pushed me into action, so I now take my food from home most days, and cut out the little extras. I now rarely spend more than a tenner a week!
  • I would say I spend bout £1 each day

    dunno exact spend buti try to get it from leftovers, main shop, frozen food i made for work. so i'd say 50p a day max if i get a cup of tea from the van.
  • I spend nothing, as I only eat breakfast before I go to work and dinner when I get home, I don't eat a meal during the day.
  • Thankfully, I work for the NHS which subsidises the canteen food somewhat so a good hearty meal can cost as little as £1.30. Usually, I try and bring my own though...

    Round about 50p to £1.50 depending on what I'm using. Try to use up bits in the fridge.

  • £5, because I'm a growing lad, and have a BIG appetite...
  • I spend about a pound a day. One roll, piece of fruit and a yoghurt.
