    Probably around 75p as my wife usually does us a tin of baked beans on toast! A good buy and very filling is Asda Tuscan Bean soup.
    If we are out we spend a little more-a couple of Macdonald's small burgers, take your own drink!:rotfl:

    I usually spend about 80p to £1 - unless it is treat day, which happens about once a month. Then can be up to £3!! I know, last of the big spenders. :beer:

    I always make lunch for all four of us in our family and I would say I never spend above £1 each. We have a varied menu of dishes including soups, pasta, couscous and sandwiches. My favourite is peppered mackerel with home-made salad. The fresh mackerel costs about 50p from the fish counter at my local supermarket.

    I can spend anything from £3 to £15 on lunch per day. :o

    I'm obviously trying my best to reduce this by bringing my own lunch in. I just need a bit of help on the willpower front and having a nice shiny new lunchbox to take my lunch in would help!
