Lunch costs me on average about £2 each day. Taking packed lunches to work is the sensible thing to do especially now that every penny counts, we're feeling the 'crunch' along with many others.0

The children stay fro school dinners which costs £17.50 pw and I reckon I spend about 50p a day evening out over the month. My husband spends more as there is pressure at his work to eat out at lunchtime so the more he spends the less I do .
The packets of noodles for about 9 pence are good fillers for work when we are skint and I keep them in my draw or go without lunch.
