I spend about £6 a day for lunch...
Too much!0 -
I'm a mum-to-be on maternity leave so most days it's about 80p but if I go out to meet friends etc which is about once a week it can be around £5.

I use about 50p to a pounds worth of food from the cupboards as I usually have dinner at home.0

I probably spend about £1.50 a day on lunch. I always take a packed lunch of either a nice leafy salad with some tuna or prawns or home made soup and a bread roll, or left over dinner from the night before as well as some fruit and nuts to snack on. My partner is terrible and spends about £10 a day on coffee, snacks and lunch and I'm trying to get him to switch to taking his own... a nice new flask would be ideal for his morning coffee!0

I try to spend as little as possible on lunch everyday by taking lunch from home. On average, I probably spend a £2 a day or less.

I probably spend about 50p a day as part of a fortnightly budget. A lunch box would help me make better lunches to take to work!! :T0

I work from home so have lunch at home - it is either a leftover from the day before or a sandwich, also a tomato or a piece of fruit (from the garden if poss) and/or some HM yoghurt.
I estimate it at 75p max."Remember that many of the things you have now you could once only dream of" - Epicurus0 -
Please enter me for the lunch box pack.
It would be really useful and used often.
Thanks for all the good work.:T0
