I spend about £3 a day on lunch. I always have good intentions of bringing mine in from home, but I'm never organised enough. I want to be inspired!

£3.00 per day0

I'd love one, taking my lunch in a carrier bag from the supermarket at the moment.....
I never spend more than £3, and that would only be if i bought a sandwich etc because I'd forgetton to take something in with me. Normally much less because I try to bring things in from home or use leftovers....0 -
I spend probably about £1 - £1.50 a day on average because I take my own food that I prepare at home before going to work.0

I spend an average of £1.50 - sometimes bring my own packed lunch.0

I spend about £1-2 if it's homemade, ie sandwiches, snacks and fruit, but about £10 if eating out.“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”

I take my own lunch most days so probably no more than £1.50 per day.0

The marginal cost of my lunches is free! As a student in a house we buy food in communally and its there whether I make a packed lunch or not.
I suppose the value of the food would be about 40p (if that); we have a breadmaker (really easy to use and so much tastier and cheaper than supermarket cardboard) and apples are pretty cheap at the moment.
Nothing beats jam sandwiches for price, but for a bit of variety a few slices of cheese will do (from Lidl of course!).
Stay away from the £4 bought lunches (sandwiches ~£2, drink £1.50 + cakes, fruit etc.), and make them at home - you'll save a fortune!
If I have to buy a lunch from a supermarket, I go past the designated "lunches" section and into the store. For the same price as two small sandwiches in the pre-packed section I can buy a pack of rolls and some choice slices of meat from the deli counter; and choose the best fruit. Think laterally and be rewarded!0 -
