Hi - I'm new to this so hope it is okay. At the moment I probably spend about £1.50 on my lunch - I do a salad each day at home and bring in a yoghurt. Cheap and cheerful!0

I am a full time mum so just eat what I have at home, my husband takes a pack up to work though so I guess we spend about £2 a day between us0
-
i'm at home, so have either HM soup or a sandwich - definitely less than a pound a day - maybe more like 50p or 60p. also like to have leftovers, which i guess although are not technically "free" have already been accounted for in my main meal budget.Mortgage free as of 11/11/15 !
:Anow... to start some serious saving :A
