I spend about 90p per child for their school lunches (less than half the price of school dinners)

When im at uni its about £3 to £4 coz I can't physically carry anything else in without a third bag but when im at home its less than a pound, I often use up stuff from last nights dinner.

I'm out and about at work so it depends (if i'm out I can't eat a baked potato for instance!) but I always take lunch with me - usuals are:

pasta, pesto & peas 55p (30p for 50g pasta, 20p for 1/5 jar pesto, 5p for a few frozen peas)
a wrap with soft cheese, ham & cucumber 65p (20p wrap, 10p bit of cucumber, 20p slices of ham, 15p portion soft cheese)
peanut butter sandwich & pack mini raisins & apple 43p (15p bread, 10p peanut butter, 8p raisins, 10p value apple)
baked potato & beans 35p (10p potato, 25p half tin beans)

My biggest triumph is getting DH to take his own lunch. When I met him he used to spend around £7-8 A DAY!!! at M&S which included a salad, smoothie & tray of prepared fruit. Now he takes a wrap or pasta like I do and buys a big carton of smoothie to last the week and a bag of apples/oranges etc.

I would love a kit, I do often take leftovers too (if we haven't troffed them first!!)

I've just started a new job where they have a subsudised canteen ( very cheap) but not as cheap as hm cheese topped rolls (8p for 2) and hm weetabix cake (10p per slice) and an apple (12p) and a bottle of tap water (free), so roughly about 30p - 50p

It used to be £5 a day from the deli across the road (such good paninis) now its about 50p as I make a huge batch of soup from the weeks leftovers and can make 5 portions. Much better for me and i think i've lost a bit of weight :j

I have recently gone from buying lunch everyday at a cost of around £3-£4/day to packed lunches for around £1 a day if not significantly less - not quite at the stage of homemaking everything yet but I'm getting there...cracking open some homemade chutney for my sandwich tomorrow which cost 50p for 4 jars :-)
