  • I have 4 children and probably spend around £5.00 I would think on their lunch box items and lunch for my husband and I at home.

    The children take packed lunches at school which generally work out around 50p each, sometimes a little more. I'll have something similar at home or maybe something on toast/soup/leftovers so it will come in at a lot less than a pound too.

    Probably about £1.00 - £1.50. I take homemade sandwiches to work and a couple of pieces of fruit.

    No idea really as I always take my own. Today (couscous & half a tin of Heinz curried beans) about 63p, grapes - about 40p but they're a snack really, wouldn't count them as lunch...

  • I spend about £1 on packed lunch every day.
  • I spend about £3 a day if buying but usually take my own so spend probably £1.50
  • Brilliant freebie.

    I would say I spend up to £2 a day on a normal lunch.
  • i take a lunch every day but i'm terrible for losing the tops off my containers!

    I can spend anything from £1- £10 depending on my mood sadly, I have been trying to take more lunches, it is a big moneysaver.
