I try and take a can of soup and an apple most days so about 70p but if I forget its £2.30 for a big fat ham salad roll!
I'd really like a free lunch box though, might make me feel young again, reminding me of school lunches!

Husband doesn't eat any, small person takes packed lunch to school - cheese sandwiches (I bake my own bread) 45p & crisps from multipack 7p, slow eater so doesn't have time for more. I tend to grab a piece of fruit 15p, yog 18p & homemade flapjack 12p? So I'm guessing it's around £1. Bit of an eye opener - the cheese is the most expensive thing - until you stop and work it out it's easy to overlook how expensive some essentials are.

I don't spend too much on my lunch - I am an at-home mum to 2 toddlers. So I eat with them, home laid eggs on home made bread usually costs just a few pennies! Some days it could be as much as a pound, depending on whether we're eating left overs, or making something fresh. One Saturday a month, I have a mental health day, where I go to a stained glass class, and I have a sandwich from the Co-Op as a treat - usually no more than £1.50 for the veggie options, currently I have no lunch box, and my husband won't share his!
Love Food Hate Waste is a great site, I like to look at the recipes for ideas. Thanks for the giveaway thread!

Brilliant Idea we all tend to get carried away with buying more in supermarkets than we need and end up having to throw it away! Will definately try to use the waste not theory :j

Under a pound normally. I grab a snicker while i'm out. Exception today though - i was bought pie and chips.

:j Nice one!

I usually eat free at work but as the waistiline in now increasing I am taking my own in - homemade soup and bread and tesco value low fat yoghurt. I think this probably comes to less than 30p a day and a great saving on calories too!
