  • I spend around 2 pounds a day as I work from home.
    When I go into the office, I spend about 6 pounds a day (luckily this is only on rare occassions !)
  • Between 50p and £1. We always make sandwiches or when I work from home I tend to eat leftovers from the night before.
  • I work from home quite a lot so my lunch costs are very minimal. However, when i work from the office i'm guilty of spending around £3 for my lunch. The good thing about this is it's a highly subsidised meal so for that price i tend to eat VERY well and healthily (e.g, a roast dinner with veg). So it's fantastic value for money. :D:T

  • Hi!

    First time on here!!
    Im hopeless since I had my little girl and returned to work - end up scouting around the hospital canteen trying to find the cheapest option which typically is chips - not great for the waist line!

    Would love to get one of these as about to have my 2nd child any day now and need all the encouragement I can to save money as going to be skint until I'm back at work!!!

    ... when I buy a sandwich or something like that. Otherwise it's cheese and crackers or PB on toast. Or I'll make a salad with leaves, tomato and mushrooms.
