    I usually take a packed lunch and I'd guess that costs around £0.50 to £1.00. I eat at the uni at least once a week, though (:beer: _pale_ ) and that's about £6.00 to £6.50 (including a drink).
  • i take a pack up, sandwiches crisps and some lovely home made cake. now its getting colder the flask would be most uesful for soup for those long cold days in the taxi :santa2:

    I seem to go through phases - for a few weeks running I'll be really good and take in salad, leftovers or HM broth (50p - £1 max) and then I slip for a few weeks and buy JP and a drink from the canteen (£4 + :eek::eek::eek:). I keep cereal in my drawer for emergencies ;)

    Hmmm...now let me see, how much do i spend on lunch ..... well here goes

    tescos blackcurrant squash made up at home in a reuseable bottle = 7p
    plastic bread - kingsmill presliced brown bread 2 slices = 10p
    filling for sandwich roughly = 40p
    flora marg = 2p max
    apple = 20p
    yoghat (when on special offer) = 20p

    thats about so, so total = 99p a day :j


    Best price is when a rep comes during lunch time and gives a talk - they bring lunch and then ofcourse its FREE!!! :rotfl:
