I've just done a breakdown of how much my lunch costs me, and i'm quite happy with the results 
2 x Pitta bread
1 x McCoys Crisps
1 x Banana
0.5 x Heinz Tomato Soup
Total = £0.90
It's filling, nice and healthy. Ticks all the boxes 
What do you spend?
Apart from the fat, salt and sugar content of the crisps and tomato soup, that's really healthy. Oh, and there's a bit much in the way of carbs.
Mine is £5 per day but normally rubbish due to the apparent lack of cooking skill by anyone at my station or the fact that lunch time is seemingly the best time to set a car on fire :'(
Do you only eat half a tin of soup?
£3 - Sainsbury's meal deal.
Some home made soup and a banana. I'd be surprised if it cost more than a quid. Feeling quite hungry though as I type this!
im living in slovenia at the moment doing a placement. Here as students you get student coupons, as many as there are working days in the month. Which basically gives us a 4 course mean at most restaurants in the city for around 2-4 euros!
Bargain!
usually get salad, then soup, then a main dish, then dessert but thats often crap like cheap cake or a bit of fruit
Ham salad (made night before)
Activia yogurt
Orange
small Kit Kat
Probably about a quid. And more healthy than your junk 
left over friday nights fried rice and sweet & sour spicey chicken; too tricky to calculate cost to me 
though cost to the NHS maybe quite large
Mine today:
Home made soup: works out about 50p per portion
A bag of walkers baked crisps: 20p
A low fat yog: 35p
Banana, Pear and satsuma: maybe 50p?
Can you tell im from up north and saving for a house!?
Philpots Hot Special, marinated chicked on ciabatta with salad. Tyrells salt n pepper. Diet Coke. £6.20.
On water and plain bread tomorrow.
Considering I grew most of it myself the price would be very close to £0 which is just the way I like it
No point in wasting money on food when there's bike stuff to buy
turkey/stuffing butty £1.20
apple/banana/pear 20p each
£1.80.
Most days, 3 slices of salami, maybe a mushroom and 3 or 4 eggs. Less than a quid easily!
Bubble and squeak rosti with fried egg, followed by apple crumble and custard; £3.35 with my staff discount in the hospital canteen, with a free unlimited supply of corporation pop. Covers all my scrawny bodies needs, nom nom nom...I rarely bother cooking much at home.
Probably about a quid.
Chorizo
eggs x2
beansprouts
courgette
marrow
shrooms
sweet peppers
chilli pepper
garlic
onion
cheese
All scrambled up in a pan with a bit of humous on the side.
Do you work in a kitchen?!
At home most of the time.
Normally bachelors condensed tomato soup, diluted with milk, white pepper 3 slices of bread then some raisins, probably about a quid.
Today was leftovers tho, kofta tagine and bread. Mmmmmmmm
edited for stupidity reasons
Tuna and cucumber butty (no mayo 
) pint of skimmed milk = £1.30
I have no idea but work varies on taking something in, grabbing a sarnie at the garage, take away of some description but that has the risk of being called out and it going cold or pies.
If I'm at work, it's free - at home, about £1. Wrap, salad, chicken (usually), granola bar and sometimes a bag of crisps.
Today's lunch was 4 slices of home-made sourdough with ham and some salad leaves. Cost pennies?
Mine costs as much or as little as the local cafe charges. I really like cafes. A packed lunch, no matter how delicious I make it, is just a disappointing way to eat.
2 for 99p at Greggs. Sausage-tastic! Why would anyone opt for anything else?
Most days, 3 slices of salami, maybe a mushroom and 3 or 4 eggs.
Living the dream!
1/2 pound lobster and a bottle of Cristal
Less than the £5 I used to spend at a sandwich shop... and I eat more and of a better quality.
Is a salad leaf, lettuce?
Ham sandwhich
walkers
banana
so probably less than a quid.
use to spend 5 or 6 quid every day going to the shop until i realised how much I was spending
I generally make a massive load of bolognese or some-such on a Sunday evening, which lasts me all week for lunches.
This week, for example: 1 packet of beef mince £3, some mushrooms, jar bolognese sauce £1.80, 1 onion £0.16, other mixed veg £1 and a few hanfuls of pasta £0.50 (& gas to cook it £?)
Works out at ~£1.50 per day plus gas!
Happy with that.
£1.50 wouldn't even buy me the cheapest sandwich in our canteen.

Ok, well apart from the crisps.
Carbs, not an issue. i need them for the ride home
I went through a stage of making a massive batch of food for thr week, but then got lazy, couple this with a few pots exploding in my bag on the way in, I was just put off.
Nothing today so £0.00
Do I win a prize?
Is a salad leaf, lettuce?
All lettuce are salad leaves. Not all salad leaves are lettuce.
£3.89 Boots meal deal - Higgidy Pie normally, choc-chip muffin, Naked Blueberry smoothy.
