    I try to take my own sandwiches, etc ... for lunch during the week so probably spend around £1 - ish
  • I usually spend between £1.75 - £2.20 on lunch in the staff canteen, although i am wanting to start taking pack lunches as a healthier option.
  • I spend about 1.50 - 2.50 per day on lunch.
  • Oh my this is my first post a bit scary,
    My lunch varies in cost from about 50p to 3 pounds
    bottle water 2 sandwiches and a couple of pieces of fruit sandwiches always home made water 60p a bottle and rolls cost 62p for 2 before i start but if lunching at home 50p or less as usually use up leftovers for soup etc.
  • I usually don't bother with lunch or just chomp a piece of fruit so its 0-25P for me. (I'm still overweight though!)
  • I don't spend anything as all meals are provided at work. :beer:
  • I take my own lunch from soup and snadwiches to hot food. It cost about £1-2
