  • Children take packed lunches to school - about £1.50
    Hubby and I eat leftovers from previous night's evening meal- free
  • I spend around £1.50 maximum as I make lunch at home.
  • Sounds like a great freebie.
    I pack up my daughter's lunches and probably spend around £1.50-£2.00 each - they are young so have little appetites at the moment.

    Hope i win :j

  • I spend max 0.75p on lunch. I generally have left overs (pasta, cous cous, stew blended up to make soup) from the night before or half a tin of soup with a couple of slices of bread goes a long way. Alternatively, i have half a tin of baked beans (heated in the microwave at work) with a couple of slices bread
  • i spend about 3.50 on my lunch most days, or i will take sandwichs
  • Think mine evens out to £1 a day - cheese and pickle sandwich, crisps and a geobar (+bottle of tap water of course!) :T
  • Between five and seven pounds.

    Tesco baked crisps = 96p for 6 = 1 pack 16p
    6 bananas for £1 = 1 banana 17p
    8 apples for £1 = 1 apple 13p
    Bread (3 loaves for £1.50, assuming 20 slices per loaf - 2 slices) = 5p
    Ham 10 slices for £2.99 - 1 slice = 30p
    Cheese triangle - 97p for 8 triangles - 1 triangle = 12.1p

    So all in all about 93p. That would be more like £3 if I bought it from our work 'sandwich man', probably more.

    Over the course of a working year (48 weeks) that is £223 rather than £720 - wow thats a £500 a year saving!! :beer:
