    Less than a pound a day, I keep a pack of shredded wheat by my desk, work provide the milk. Lunch is a tin of soup & an apple or orange. I'm trying to watch both sorts of pounds ;)
  • £6.00 approx
  • I Usually spend about £1.50 to £2.00, I know I should make soup & sarnies etc...
  • Well, between myself and my daughter I suppose I must spend a good £3-4 per day.

    :D
  • I spend approx £2.00 per day on lunch
  • Thnaks For wonderful post. I always try to avoid food most of the time..Rarely do i waste food. I always try to make bst use of left over food also.
  • Lunch costs me on average about £2 each day. Taking packed lunches to work is the sensible thing to do especially now that every penny counts, we're feeling the 'crunch' along with many others.
  • I'd say I spend about £1.50 to £4 a day. Depends on how organised I am.
  • Try to have h/m soup so a little as possible this week used up extra veg I had left from making gran cottage pies for her lunch lol

    About £1 per day hopefully less

    The children stay fro school dinners which costs £17.50 pw and I reckon I spend about 50p a day evening out over the month. My husband spends more as there is pressure at his work to eat out at lunchtime so the more he spends the less I do .

    The packets of noodles for about 9 pence are good fillers for work when we are skint and I keep them in my draw or go without lunch.
    :o
