  • About £1.50 if I bring in leftovers and some fruit & a packet of Ready Salted. Probably the same if i bring in sarnies. If i go to the bakers, it will be around £3 - £4. If I choose from the 2 canteens at work i can be ripped off to about £5 or above for c**p food.
  • I spend £1.80 on soup and wheaten Bread from the shop- Its luverly!
  • Most days less than £1 because I make my own lunch, but I occasionally buy lunch from the supermarket or have a pub lunch so I'd reckon about £2 on average.

    I spend no more than 70p on my kids lunchboxes
  • probably about a pound a day - take in my own sandwiches etc.
  • I make lunches for my boyfriend and I every day otherwise he will spend £2.50 a day from a butty run. I would say I spend £10 a week of food for lunches.:A

    I make a salad at home that I take into work with some fruit and oat cakes so in all it probably costs me around £1 a day

    I spend about 60p a week on the bread, £1 on a few slices of meat, 50p on a lettuce, £1 on apples and about £1 on biscuits/chocolates. So, about 80/90p-ish a day?

    My husband makes me my packed lunch everyday (whilst I do his ironing so a fair trade!). So I guess my lunch each comes to about £1.50.
  • I remember when I didn't think nothing of spending £3-£4 on a bought sandwich and a yogurt, but now it's definately a case of 'make your own' sandwich, salad, or now the weather is getting colder - a baked and filled potato, tub of chilli, casserole etc to heat in the microwave. This costs no more than £1.50.
