  • about £3 a day:rolleyes:
  • I spend about £4.00 a day on lunch.

    Mark.
  • I spend about 50p per day on lunch. I buy rolls when they are reduced in the supermarket and make soup and heat it in the office microwave. I also make cakes cut them into portions and freeze them and take one out each day. If I am feeling very reckless I buy the special offer fruit from Aldi too
  • Hope I win

    I try not to spend much... if I take my own lunch it will be less than £1 but some days I buy a sandwich for a couple of quid. I have cut out my previously obligatory chocolate bar and can of pop, and my purse and waistline are both better for it!! :D
  • I spend approx £1 on lunch
  • Just added up that on the days I am at work I spend about £5 per day on lunch which is shocking.

    I am so going to address that right now!! Need to start taking my own lunch definitely.
  • Hmmm, it varies as some days I take pasta from home :A and others I resort to the gorgeous sandwich shop across the road which cost about £2.50ish each. Trouble is I am out and about so I have no way of warming anything up. Perhaps we could start a new thread with ideas for cheap lunches?
  • I spend about £4. on lunch each day.
