    Would probably average about £1 for lunch at home or when I take a packed lunch to work, but £3 once a week for lunch in the greasy spoon when I'm on my late night at work.
  • Probably spend about £1.00 a day.
  • take lunch with me, hence why this giveaway will be useful!

    so about £1 a day!

    even bake the bread so prob less!
  • usually eat at home so maximum 50p
  • I reckon mine comes to around £1.20 a day - a filled sandwich or roll, crisps, apple, banana and sometimes a handful of cherry tomatoes.

    "marmalade on nutty brown bread yum yum :p
  • i eat shreddies for lunch so i wreckon about 15p.
  • Well this giveaway has drawn me out of ‘lurker’ status. :D Now that the ice is broken I’ll probably benefit more from participating. :j

    I tend to take fruit in for lunch so less than £1 usually. Although when I was pregnant earlier this year I took in store bought soups when ever they were on special, I had a thing for Covent Garden, or bought lunch at the canteen for under £2.
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.
  • Well I probably spend about £2.50on average each day. I mean to make a packup but buy cheap bread and I don't like it so false economy really!! LOL

    I keep meaning to make pasta salad and the like but can never find containers etc so winning the kit would save me literally £100's in a year.
