    Every day without fail lunch is HM soup made from left over veggies/lentils because it's filling and tastes much nicer than the packet stuff. Cost per day: no more than 5o pence.

    About £2 usually - we have a 'custom' sandwich service (Work for Bentley Motors) - order your sandwich on a website and collect it in the on-site shop - my favourite coronation chicken on a brown baguette costs £1.89

    I spend about £3 a day on a workday, and about £1 when I'm at home.

    About £1 for me, but with the 2 kids, this mounts up with crisps, cereal bars, etc. Mine will only eat Hovis and a loaf at £1.25 doesn't last long

    I probably average about £2, most days I take my own but sometimes I like to buy something instead.
