Most days I try to take a packed lunch to work and it doesn't cost me much, just £1 for a coffee. If I forget to life my lunch out the fridge (happens often) it normally costs me between £2 - £3.
Good luck everyone x0 -
lunch is usually homemade so less than £1?0

I spend on average £4.00 a day. The company I work for just outsourced its previously in-house catering offering to a well known Coffee establishment who thinks the way to go is prepacked food. Its like being at a motorway service station or I'm just being held to ransom!0

I usually take leftovers, a sarnie, or a spud to bake in the work oven, plus a filling, so about a quid. I get a sandwich from the shop about once a week though.
Edit: a sarnie, I mean. What on earth is a "darnie"?!0 -
I think I spend about £1.50 for my lunch0

Seeds of change soup in my flask, and a Rachel's organic yogurt

Difficult one to answer as I often don't have lunch! mainly due to rushing around getting kids to school, then go off to work as a nurse and don't usually have a lunch break! If I do I'm often tempted to get a portion of very unhealthy chips from the hospital canteen for less than a £1 very yummy!
I did take in some crackers and a tub of cottage cheese this week so getting better!!! So less than £1 again! Do sometimes take a sandwich if I'm organised! Need to get DH trained to make a pack lunch as he buys lunch EVERY day not very MSE!!!:rotfl:0 -
It does vary ... sometimes I skip lunch so it costs nothing! Othertimes I will eat out so about £5 ... it averages aout at about £3 a day0

Like magic every day, my lunch (a sandwich) appears on the work surface, nicely wrapped.
My wife probably knows a lot about it.
I make the bread in our bread machine, I reckon the bread costs 20p a day and the cheese or ham another 25p. So total cost less than 50p0
