    Spending on lunch: Average about £2 variation about 50p to £40 depending on whether it's a cheap 'eat in' or my wife's birthday!

    I always take my own lunch and snacks of salad or home made soup, yoghurt and fruit- comes to about £1 a day, if that.

    I love looking for ways to save money!

    Hmmm probably about £1 or less. We usually have left overs, HM soup or something that's been bought out of the reduced section :)
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    It varies for me - most days I try to take a sandwich made at home with some fruit :A , but others I succumb to a bag of crisps and some choc...

    About £1 a day on average

    Spend from £3-£5 per day! Far too much, really should start making own lunches; I know I'd save myself a fortune :j

    I spend between £1-£5 on lunch depending on if I take it in from home or if I buy lunch.
