About £1.20. I take my own sandwiches, fruit & biscuit & if I need a snack I love a hardboiled egg!0

Some days my lunch costs next to nothing - left overs from the night before.eg: Small Jacket spud with last nights bolognese sauce or maybe just a portion of risotto either cold or reheated.Other days it costs me a bit more. I don't eat wheat so if I have a wheat-free roll then that will be £1+ before I add anything. Needless to say, this is a rare treat.
Pack up lunches are always a challange but I make cheese scones or savoury flapjack or just stick to a simple salad to keep the cost down.7 Angel Bears for LovingHands Autumn Challenge. 10 KYSTGYSES. 3 and 3/4 (ran out of wool) small blanket/large square, 2 premie blankets, 2 Angel Claire Bodywarmers0 -
£1 - £2 per day0

I normally spend about £5 on lunch every day, but that's broken down from a weekly shop as I normally pack my own lunches. This pack would therefore come in very handy

Generally make my own sarnies or take in leftovers from night before - costs me no more than £1 per day.0

That’s because I buy a packet of Bachelors pasta sauce around 80p, make a pastry less quiche out of it which last 2 days, take a few cherry tomatoes around 90p which lasts 3 days, and either an apple or packet of crisps.

Nothing because I'm lucky and get a free lunch at work. But my husband rarely takes a packed lunch and consequently spends between £4 and £8 per day!0
