It really depends on how organised I've been and if I've been out the previous night.
If I get up in plenty of time I take lunch with me - approx £1.50
If I don't then anything upto a fiver.
Approx twice a month I go out for lunch and can spend approx a tenner.0 -
about 50p as I make it home made!
But we have a not for profit cafe at work where today I bought a cup of tea, penguin and cheese sandwich for 60p which is relatively good when you forget your lunch!!

My lunch is cheap, something like beans on toast if at home, it's the children's packed lunches that mount up (and eldest one's school meals at senior school - now packed lunch four days a week and 'treat' dinner money on thursdays!). Always on the lookout for useful food packaging options so fingers crossed!0

I take sandwiches with me or pasta salad, so probably no more than a pound a day.0

I usually have home-made soup and a sandwich or cheese and biscuits with a piece of fruit so I guess under a pound since I grow my own veg for soup.
If it's lunch in the pub or cafe then I try to keep it under a fiver, but that's only once in a while.0 -
I used to make up sandwiches (egg, cheese, peanut butter etc), but now take everything pre-assembled..i.e. bread roll, lump of cheese, apple, bag of nuts.
Comes to around 75p per day..sometimes a bit less.0 -
It depends on which sandwiches are yellow stickered, today it was 75p0
