  • Hi
    I spend £1.35 per day if I buy from canteen but most days take leftovers yesterdays meals - so difficult to calculate. Kids always have pack lunch about 70p per day.
    :j
  • About £1-£2 per day as make at home. Such a waste of money to buy out: it's surprising how quickly the pennies add up to many pounds and you've still not had enough to eat!
  • Less than 50p on sandwiches, can't afford to spend anymore!

    I would say on average about £1 a day... but that depends on my laziness... which needs tending!

    I would say about £1 a day max. :j

    Sometimes I have leftovers from the night before. Sometimes sandwiches or sharwoods noodles (just add hot water - they're tasty!). Today I had left ofer sausages on a roll, it wasn't very nice, but needed used :rolleyes: Oatcakes with cheese, ryvita and a tin of makeral.

    I'm getting bored of my lunch though, so lookingforward to some of your ideas too!
  • Around £2 per day for 3 packed lunches and one at home.
  • ooo me goodness..how many pages!! I used to spend about £5 a day (hangs head in shame) but now probably between 35p (noodles) and a quid if I make soup, yog and bread with snacks at 11 & 4...

    I think I must spend about 50p a day since taking my porridge into work but I,m going back to shifts again so this would be great for me, especially the flask for the home made soup when it gets cold out.

  • Not working at the moment, so only been spending around £2 for lunch at home for me and husband.

    But it was more like £5 when I was at work! :confused:
