today.... about 63p
I have made my own lunches for the last five years. Much better quality and choice (never mind cheaper) than any shops....and i know exactly what is in it! No e numbers, no additives, no preservatives and its not prepacked in plastic. And when the allotment is up and running, hopefully I will spend even less cos I won't have to buy fruit, veg and salads.

Sounds great, i'd love one! I probably spend £1 or so if I take sandwiches, but could easily be £4 if I have to buy something in town.0

I used to buy lunches from fast food restaurants near work,however I had to stop doing that since I started working in Mayfair, as it was costing £5-6 a day, and there isn't any cheap options around, so now I mostly take a HM sandwich and an apple to work, which costs me just over a pound.0

Probably about 80p per day.
I've just started making my hubby take packed lunches - he used to buy 'shop-made' - full of junk & treble the cost. Now we save money and he eats healthier - win win!!0 -
