Probably about a quid if I'm at work and take in my own stuff. More if I'm out shopping with friends and we go somewhere for lunch. Up to a fiver. I always take a bottle of water with me to keep cost down.0

Under £1 - depending what filling I have in my home-made sandwiches. I make them from either home-made bread or reduced price bread so a couple of slices don't cost much. Fillings are ham, beef, egg or cheese plus sometimes tomato or lettuce. During the winter I often also have one sachet of a supermarket own-brand soup but not every day. Loads of people in my work bring in their own sandwiches or leftovers from their previous night's dinner so I think a lot of us are watching the pennies and can't afford shop-bought lunches.0

l spend about a pound a day as I cook my own lunch at home, or take and tin of soup or left over dinner from the night before .....:T0

ooo...think I spend about 75p at the moment. Usually try to make extra large dinners on weekdays to roll over to the 12pm hunger pangs:
Portion of pasta approx 70p for 500g = 23p ish per day
1/2 tin of Tomateys 26p Tesco = 13p ish
1/2 an Onion, 20p (stave off the sniffles with a bit o' vit C!)= 10p
1/2 Pepper, 50p at Tesco's at the moment = 25p
Dash of Olive Oil = 4p ish
I just heat up the oil, swish them all around a bit while the pasta cooks, then whack the leftovers in a box for the next day...yum!:T0 -
I think I spend about 75p a day on lunch (sandwich and 2 pieces of fruit).0

I spend about £3-4 a day but I am pregnant and keep snacking!
Now I've written that down I think I ought to bring lunch from home instead...0 -
I reckon I spend around £1.50-£2.00 a day. I take a packed lunch to work although as I often don't get a lunch break I take lots of quick to eat snacks that I can nibble on while rushing from one place to the next!Latest Wins: Mr Motivator workout DVD, 5 Itunes downloads, Ipod Stereo Dock, Tea, Ipod Nano, True Crime DVD set, Family Pass to Legoland, Eye Pencil, Seeds, Anita Shreves novel, £150 ASOS vouchers, Miracle Gro starter kit :j0
