    Not a penny thanks to the company providing bread and a toaster :p

    If eating at home my lunch usually costs about 25p for a home-made tuna mayo and sweetcorn sandwich on wholemeal bread.
    If I'm out it's 88p for an Asda cheese and onion sandwich washed down with cola I take with me from home. (Asda diet cola decanted from a 2 litre bottle to a 500ml Pepsi Max bottle)

    It varies for me but is usually a peanut butter sandwich, so I am going to quote the kids - costs £1.85 a day each when having school dinners (ouch! but important too) and about £1 each when having a packed lunch once a week.

    I always make my own lunch as does my husband and son. I would say we spent about £1.20 each per day.

    I reckon I spend about £5 a day on lunch.

    Well, if I am having a good week I will take a packed lunch to work with with me so probably only a couple of pounds....if I'm having a bad week then I will buy it and spend about £3 a day.

    I was spending about £5 per day, but I have seen the error of my ways and am now eating healthy home packed goodness for about £1.50/per day :)
    This pack would be great as I'm sick of my lunch getting squashed! :T
