  • I spend about £2.70 per day - outrageous!
  • I usually take my own to work each day, either sarnies or bread & fillings to make a toasted sandwich in the works kitchen. I also keep a pack of cup-a soup in the cupboard. Tea & coffee is paid for by the company so no expense for me there! I guess it prob costs approx £1 per day, although sometimes I'll pop to the chippie directly opposite & spend £1.80!

    Good luck everyone!
  • I Spend About £3 A Day.that Is £15 Aweek £60 A Month. Help!!!!!

    I Must Cut Back. £3a Day Is Nothing, But £60 A Month Is A Lot.

    I spend very little on lunch cos I make my own, but I want this for my son who has just started work, and I want to encourage him to take packed lunches instead of spending a fortune on bought sandwiches, creating lots of packaging!!
  • I don't spend much, about 50p probably, because it's usually sandwiches or pasta salad. :beer:
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine
