  • I take my own lunch to work - except pub day (Friday)! So about £5-10 a week.
  • Usually £1-2 if I take a packed lunch.

    Morning all.

    I reckon I spend about £2.50 on average. I try and take a pack-up to work but it doesn't always work. If I do I spend around £2. But more often than not it's something from Boots (£2.99) or from the canteen at work.
    Life is all about the journey.
  • I spend less than 50p on my packed lunch - and most of that is on fruit!
  • Spend about £1.50

    I've not worked out exactly how much I spend on lunch but it's less than £1 as I take a sandwich, crisps, chocolate biscuit (or cake if I have made some), fruit and a bottle of squash to have. As a student i'm surprised none of my student friends do this also they will always buy something costing probably more each day than I spend in a week on mine.
  • I probably spend about £1 on most days, because I pack my own lunch (a bit more if I am starving and need crisps!). I make my sandwiches on Sunday and freeze them for the week.

    But if I am feeling lazy or have forgotten to get my sandwiches out of the freezer then I probably spend £5+ at the local deli.
  • On average £1 per day although once a week I go out to lunch with OH which costs anywhere between £6 & £12 for the two of us. We do try & use any deals around, such as 50% Mondays @ Slug & Lettuce or similar & no longer go out for dinner!
    If we are out & about as a family then the meal deal at Boots for £2.99 (& buy 5 in a month get one free) works well to keep everyone filled up & much healthier than certain chains!!
  • £2.45 per day - ish
  • about £1 approx
