If I am having a good week then I remember to take a pack lunch everyday I spend under £10. Whereas if I am being disoganised and end up going to Tesco or works canteen I reckon I spend £3-4 a day so more like £20. Must be more organised!!!0

I work from home so lunch is often leftovers from the night before or bargains I find in Waitrose. I would definitely say lunch costs under £1, probably more like 40-50p if I am having homemade soup and homemade bread.0

These sound ace, I wants one!
I reckon I spend about a pound, as I get food from home, or buy stuff in bulk to make sandwiches with.
