    Probably £1-2 - I bring a sandwich or home made soup from home, and buy fruit and yoghurts on a weekly basis.

    anything from £1 to £6 depending on how hungry I feel!
    :money:
  • I guess it's about £5 per day - more than I thought!:eek:
  • £1.99 a day as I have a regular salad from Morrisons usually :)
    Everyone has a photographic memory, it's just some of them don't have film.

    This is great! I reckon I spend under £2 per day on lunch as I eat the same thing all week (e.g. ryvita and houmous) or take left overs.

    Used to go to M&S everyday and it was bankrupting me!
  • I reckon I spend £1 to £1.25 per day. Its all home made so I reckon that is a pretty accurate cost.

    I have lunch at home - No more than £1 a day
    I make either a loaded rye bread sandwich or a homemade filling soup with bread, and just some fruit for afters.
    Same for my hubby but he takes his lunch to work.

    I spend £1.50 on my daughters packed lunch - where they all compare who has the healthies lunch! And 60p on my lunch (I take last nights left overs, but I buy myself a cup of tea!)

  • I spend about 2 pounds a day!
  • I spend probably less than a quid each day.

    Leftovers, whats in the fridge, whatever really - I'm very versatile!!!

    By the time I've bought and made everyone else's lunches, there's nowt left over for me!!
