  • Hi ya,

    If I have been organised enough to pack lunch the night before then around 50p -£2 depending on what's for lunch.

    Unfortunately by Friday I am usually tempted to ditch the packed lunch in favour for a shop/pub/ restaurant bought lunch costing around 5 -10 pounds :rolleyes:

    I must admit to having lazy weeks when I just don't have the inclination to make a packed lunch, so I spend about £3.00 a day at the local supermarket = £15 a week! :eek:

    I'm getting better now though and tend to buy things like cup-a-soups on special offer and keep them in my desk for when I don't bring my own lunch from home.

  • um, about £1 because i normally take a packed lunch, except for Monday's when I treat myself to a Boots meal deal!

    It varies! Less than a pound if I bring my own (HM soup, sandwiches, etc). A couple of quid if I buy it - that'll usually get me some potato wedges and a cup of soup.
  • My lunch costs less than £1 because I make a sandwich, take a few tomatoes and some carrot or celery sticks, and some fruit. I buy my fruit at the local market so it is good value. I also take a cold drink, which I make from home and just re-use the plastic bottle. Making my own lunch also helps nutritionally because I'm not tempted by foods that are full of fat or additives.

    I spend approximately £1.00 a day on lunch - Bread, cheese, cucumber/tomatoe & a "nice cup of tea" on the company!!
  • I buy lunch at work and spend about 2.50 a day
  • between £1 and £5 depends on how hungry / lazy I am
  • :T I spend approx £1 per day. I make my own soups so the boxes would be very handy!
  • As I am self-employed, I tend to be out and around at lunch time
    and don't stop to eat. I always eat a healthy breakfast first thing
    in the morning.

    Thererfore, it's impossible to establish the 'cost of lunch' since
    I will snack on what's in the fridge should I be around at home.
