I make my husband a packed lunch each day which costs about £1.50 and my daughter has school dinners at £2.00 per day. I eat whatevers left in the fridge from the night befores dinner.0

Less than £1 - homemade vegetable soup, bread (even posh Sainsbury's baker bread works out at 6p a slice), homemade cake, fruit from the market.0

It costs about £2.40 for the 2 kids and about £2 for me and my partner per day!
So all in all approximately £4.40 per day but this does include a huge healthy variety of fruit and veg which for some reason always costs a fortune!
Sounds a lot but when school dinners are £2.50 per day at my the first school where my oldest son goes it does save!;)0 -
I would spend £1.50 a day on food 0 -
I spend £2.50 per day on lunch - on myself and my two children0
