I always used to take a packed lunch to work - much to the amusement of my colleagues who in central london were spending at least £5 on lunch - last laugh on me I think!!
Now my son has just started school and takes a packie - hame and cucumber sandwich @ 30p (and I use finest), 1 carrot @ 3p, 4 cherry toms @ 16p, 1 pack crisps @ 20p, 1 yoghurt @ 15p, 1 piece of fruit @ 10p, 1 carton apple juice @ 15p
Approx £1.10 a day and none of it is budget brands just careful shopping.

Hmmm, probably about £1.50 a day. Try to stock up on things when they are on offer to save a little bit.

£5 or under

I always spend less than a pound, I work from home most days so have soup or salad or whatever is leftover from the night before, but send DH off to work every single day with a packed lunch. We have saved a fortune by not buying out whenever possible. Now that it is getting colder need to find him a small flask for homemade soups instead of sarnies. Cold enough on the outside dont want him cold on the inside as well!

We, the royal we that is, make pack lunches for us all to take (we have two boys) - sometimes its sarnies, sometime its leftovers so I suppose we spend about £5 per day between us all...

I eat lunch at home so it's really difficult to estimate the cost - definitely under £1 anyway.
