What sort of stuffs do you take in?
I spend about £10 a week on lunch as we have a subsidised canteen. I used to make and bring my own lunch to work before I got lazy
I Used to spend 5-10 pounds a day on all sorts of rubbish. When I wrote down how much I spent in a month it was a ridiculously high amount! I take my own lunch now and have a cafetiere to make my own coffee instead of buying expensive cappuccinos from my work canteen. Saved a ton of money to buy more goodies for my rig

Same.
This. Sometimes up to £15 if its a nicer restaurant.
No wonder it only costs you £5-6 a week
I used to survive on 7 slices of crisp breads + philly cheese daily... then realised I wasn't getting enough nutrition or energy from it and now having fresh soup and panini from work instead which costs around £2 a day.

Does me and the missus fine, feel a lot better from cutting normal bread out from our diets and i cook from fresh every night for our main meals + saves a lot of time, just throw them in my bag and thats it

for those that have posted here saying they go all day/night without food, have you actually tried eating more regularly for a week or so ?
I used to go for hours without food but eventually realised i feel much better if i eat 'normally'
maybe it's a gettinf older thing, you need more regular meals/snacks as you get older ?

Nothing, I always make my own and I will say this - it will save you a fortune
Spend that saved £££ on games or components instead of overpriced junk "food" @ work
As an example one of my buds @ work spends about £3 on a baguette, crisps and an oatmeal bar. That totals to:
£15/week
£60/month
£720/year
And I know hes kinda hard up on cash but he admitted he CBA to make his own stuff. I dont say anymore as to each his/her own. What I will say is that our cafeteria is laughing all the way to the bank.
