    The main portion of my lunch costs up to 50p but could be as low as 10p if I have picked something up in the reduced section! Then I always have two pieces of fruit which is another 20-40p. I drink water so that is practically free.
  • Excellent idea - probably spend about £2.50 per day for me and my daughter's lunchboxes. I doesn't go in the fridge either so a freezer pack would come in very handy!!
  • I spend an average 50p-75p on using up leftovers from last nights dinner (sad but cheap!) or crispbread with cream cheese filling and home made wheatfree biscuits or fruit. I bring in a individual sachet of Cappucino powder to save buying the expensive cafe ones (yeh, not as good but better than non) and hope that I can save enough for a trip to Auz next year. At least it's good for weight loss!:T

    I spend ab out £2.50 a day on 1 child's lunch at High School and £1 on other at primary school - I hate waste and try to use up everything in the fridge - if we don't eat it the cats or African Landsnails do!

    Probably about 50p lately - usually peanut butter or something else on toast, followed by an apple, and water to drink.

  • Hi

    I say that I spend around £1.50 on my childs lunch box. I am trying to bring in a packed lunch to work and finding that soups are great to use up left overs at this time of year! So I would guess that I have spent £1-2.00 for my lunch too.
  • I also use leftovers from last night's dinner, wherver possible and on average my lunch costs about 75p - £1
