I make my own lunch, so averaged across the week I would say I don't spend more than about £1.25 per day.
School dinners currently cost £1.80 per day each for the kids.2021 Targets

Hello,
I work in London, so the opportunity to have a cheap lunch is never easy!
I am working smarter on this (using the Boots lunch deal etc.) so, on average, I spend £3.50 per day on lunch!!!
Maybe the smartest way is to bring lunch from home!0 -
On days when I manage to be organised enough to take my own lunch, it's probably around £1 maximum, though it's often just leftovers from teh day before - so maybe doesn't count!. When I have to get something here, I tend to nip to the shops and buy enough to do me two or three days.... so it works out about £1.50 - £2.Perpetual Lurker!
Savings fund: £0 but plans are afoot!0 -
Well mine is about £2.50 a day...
Give or take a fiver depending on if I miss breakfast! :j:beer: Debt Free since July 2011 and it feels good! :beer:
Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!
How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:0 -
My lovely mum usuall makes my lunch for me so it doesnt cost me anything (well I do pay housekeeping!) But on the days I do buy lunch its costs about £3.500

I used to spend sometimes £8 a day on lunch at Waitrose or M and S. Now I make my own the night before for less than £1 a day, and enjoy it just as much - perhaps even more so as I am saving ££££ a week. My fave filling? tinned salmon from Lidl @ 80p for a large tin = 4 lots of sandwiches!0
