  • DIY lunches 4 me apart from curry day in the canteen - must cost about £2.50 a day on average though.
  • I spend less than £1.00 as I make my own at home (when I can be bothered to eat lunch).
    Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before
  • Usually less than £1 as make my own to take to work.
  • I spend about £2.70 at work and £1.00 at home.
  • I probably spend about £1.50 - Jacket potato with tuna & mayo and a yogurt - all taken to work in a carrier bag (recycled of course!) What I need is a lunch box!! x

    Hi

    I would say i spend about £3-£4 a day, unfortunatly the meals in the hospital canteen are expensive even for staff.

    I think it's time i should take in packed lunches as i might actually not need to borrow money to live on if i took my own lunch in as it would be much cheaper.
  • I spend anywhere from £2 to £4 pound a day although always try to do to it cheaper if I can

    I spend about £1.50 per day on rubbish. Must cut down, so after 1/2 term will be packing up, taking soups etc. Better for purse and health
  • I usually make my own food (so around 75p there) but sometimes buy a drink or some chocolate, so average cost is around £1.50
  • I Spend Between £2 And £4a Day All Depends Where I Am Working And Try And Make My Own Sometimes This Is Anout £1
