I reckon my daily buttie is around £3.0

I spend less than £1 a day, usually stock up on Monday with fruit and bits to make salad while in the office (invested in a good knife and a chopping board some time ago), and I bring in portions of any leftovers or things to mix with salad!
Need to rethink what I do as it gets colder salad is less appealing so a flask would be really useful for soups
In the past I used to spend over £5, 3 or 4 on a sandwich and usually a fancy coffee or 2 - have managed to cut that down to only occasionally for special occasions now :A0 -
I've been off sick for the last two and a half months. Before that I was too ill to make/remember to bring packed lunch, so I was probably spending £3-£6 a day, I'd guess. Am hoping to get back into the swing of things, without resorting to what a friend was doing for 'lunch' and having marmite on toast...
Oh, and when at home, probably 50p-£2, though really I haven't kept track. I generally manage to have some planned leftovers available, but again, haven't really been up to cooking so have had quite a few bowls of muesli for lunch, too.DFW stats:

Proud to be dealing with my debts0 -
It depends on who's lunch i am making
But generally between £1-3 a day, weekends being the most.0 -
I spend hardly anything on lunch as I have it at home. My partner on the other hand spends a fortune, I would say approx £5 a day!!!!!0

I spend about £1 to £1.50 at most.0

Probably a £1 (or less) if I'm packed lunch and about £3.00 if I'm being lazy and buy a sandwich in town. Have a kettle at work, so all coffee is brought in from home. Seem to spend a lot more on DD lunch and she is also pack up??
Good Luck..0 -

Hi, I spend about £5 per day on lunches.0

I always take my own lunch and recon to spend under £1.50 a day for a sandwich,cake biscuit and drink as all made at home. Would love to get one of the packed lunch kits so fingers crossed.0
