    I used to make lunches but in the last couple of months haven't had the motivation.
    I currently spend about £4 on average for lunch each day so 4 x 5 = 20
    20 x 4 (weeks)
    = £80 :(

    Think I might go make my lunch for tomorrow when I come off the computer! lol


    thats exactly why i started making me packed lunch cos the cost of having lunch out each day was too much lol

  • well mine is (per week) but i work 7 day weeks -

    homemade rolls (flour, yeast and others) - 80p
    cheese spread - 69p
    apple (some are used at home) - £1.29
    snack a jacks bagles - £2.50
    homemade cake/flapjack - £1.30

    total = £6.58 :rolleyes: per day 94p :j per month £26.32 :eek:

    but i must say most of it is used at home too and i dont pay for it as i pay my housekeeping to my mum and she buys it :D

    Cheapest I can eat at work is about £3 per day - and that doesn't buy enough to fill me up :(

    So I make sandwiches at home, and eat up anything left over from the weekend - at the moment - home boiled ham and coleslaw. I'd guess (with homemade bread it's hard to judge) about £5-£7 a week, or £25 a month, compared to buying at £60ish...
