I forgot my wallet today and all I had on me was £1.20 in change. Managed to get a cheese sandwich from Asda for a pound (I know, living the dream) but since I get an allowance for lunch of close to a fiver I’m actually the best part of £4 up on the day.

Homemade potato and leek soup with blue cheese. No work at the moment so plenty of time.

I have leftovers most days, so the cost is contained within the previous night’s food budget. On the days I don’t have them, lunch here is £2.50 for a choice of baked spud OR soup OR baguette OR normal meal-type thing.

About 2 quid.

That’s quality. Not found many companies doing that.

I make it at home so about a pound at a guess. The most expensive part would be the chicken drumstick or the half can of tuna.

Jam ‘n’ cheese sandwich – home-made of course – so not a lot of pennies.

Will – you forgot to budget for a creme egg, have you overdosed?

£1.60ish odd for me.
4 slices of hovis bread (small loaf bakery made, not from a supermarket)
2 slices of turkey and a generous spread of cranberry sauce.
1 clementine.
1 very small choclate bar.

This is the lamest one-upmanship thread yet. how come you aren’t all suffering from malnutrition. a 1 quid cheese sandwhich from asda!?

Pasty, tin of hoops. £1.30.

At a guess about £1.75

Tin of tuna + salad, h+b mayo, evoo and oatcakes. And perhaps a bit of yogurt and fruit.
