  • About £3.00
  • I take a packed lunch each day which I reckon has a total cost of 80p, including a sandwich, crisps and a couple of chocolate snacks (Kit Kat/Breakaway). (Not the healthiest of lunches, I know.)

    I'm quite pleased to have worked that out! Now I just hope my pleasure continues when the results are announced... :D
  • I spend around £3 per day on lunch

    What a great offer. I used to spend quite a bit in the subsidised canteen at work, (civil service) somehow thinking it would save me from having to cook at night but I still ended up having a 'proper meal' at night as old habits die so hard, so it was a waste.

    Now thanks to a change of job, lifestyle and becoming very downshifty it's a cuppa soup and h-m bread and some fruit.- sometimes h-m soups but they're usually too good for work.

    Totalling £1 or sometimes less. Perfectly adequate.

  • Probably about £2.50 per day.
