    Varies between £0.10 (home laid eggs and toast) and up to a £0.75 when we have something posh such as Eggs Benedict ... most of the cost is in the Ham and Hollandaise sauce. Yum!

    Picnics are about £1 a head including crisps, home-made bread, a can of drink and Egg Mayonnaise.

    MMmmmm ... I'm now hungry

    I spend anything from £1 to £5, but I do try to bring my own food from home when I can. I would really love to get the kit, with me plus husband plus baby we never seem to have enough boxes. Thank you!

    27p for my lunch as home-made vegetable broth or lentil soup made in vast quantities and frozen works out super cheap :) I also fill up a plastic bottle from the water cooler in work so that free!
