During my lunch hour I may...take a walk. Saves on gym money and I always feel refreshed and ready for the afternoon.
Walk to the post office and post your Ebay/Amazon parcels or pop in the charity shops to see if there are any bargains to be had.
Give self a manicure at desk.
Catch up on phonecalls to friends/family.
Write letters/stories to magazines. Earn cash as you munch your lunch.
Do your online shopping order.
Flick through Amazon find a few books you fancy then order them from your local library online.
Play online chess, do a crossword or other puzzles to keep that brain power flowing.
Up date your cash book/diary etc0 -
Offer to do the butty run for your colleagues, go to tesco & get loads more clubcard points than if you just bought your own sarnie, then get a brochure from the travel agents & think about spending your clubcard deals!0

Am I unusual, I eat my lunch and rest my eyes and if its nice weather (basically not peeing down) I go for a brisk bit of fresh air....the best things in life are free....Thank you to everyone who has helped me MoneySave0

Why does everyone everywhere assume everyone has a desk job?
On my lunch break I prefer to sit down, eat my lunch and read the paper that someone else has kindly paid for.

Come to that, many of us don't even have a lunch break but work straight through to fit in with school hours. The only moneysaving possible is making your own sarnis instead of buying them.0 -
We are lucky enough to have flexi time, So I take the minimum half hour lunch and save a half hour. Eventually I get a day off work, paid.0
