About £5pd. Usually buy from Pret/Eat/M&S since I can't be bothered to make sandwiches at home. I do like the toasted sandwiches too.

Hardly anything these days. Might spend £3 or £4 if I forget to make lunch or I get a really big hankering for burger king or something.
Aside from that, it's 50p on a can of coke or a bar of chocolate once a week or so.

Unless you use cheap value bread and spread some jam on it, or use cheap reconstituted ham you're not really going to save much money over that!
Sorry, but that's the most northern post I've ever seen on a forum. Ever
Personally mine varies. When I work nights I eat dinner before I leave and take a sandwich. So spend nothing. If I'm working days and buy out its normally about £30 a week (soho prices..). Or of I'm working through I get a free lunch delivered to my desk. So I quite often work through

£5 per day and then in total I try spend around £10 a day on food and drinks.
Less than I used to. When I first started working here I could easily spend £5 a day in the inhouse shop/canteen. I've gradually started bringing in my own food nowadays, but I still buy stuff from there on occasion. Can still easily spend £2 - 3 or more if I decide to buy a meal.
So do most people, its called breakfast
When I was working last summer I was spending like £20-25 a week probably, a few minute walk into town and just bought something there. When I start full time I will take my own lunch
But I work night's
Have my dinner about 7ish and that's it until 7 the next evening.
Cheese and tomato sandwich most made at home 3/5 days a week for me with a banana some crisps / other snacks 
Mostly Pret the other 2 days I work in town, or Gregs!
- probably spend more money on coffee a week than anything.
3-4 flat whites a week and the odd lunch probably brings me to £20 a week.

That's all you eat at work
let's assume that's an 8 hour shift then around 40 mins round trip travel time couldn't last on that myself.
This.
Normally buy a flapjack in the morning if I don't have breakfast, 70p. For lunch its usually either £2 pasta from Tesco, or £2 Deli of the Day from McDs. Also sometimes get a drink/banana/nuts. If I'm feeling VERY hungry I'll buy a £1 tuna sandwich from Tesco to have mid afternoon as well.
I've been meaning to start making my own for ages now, but just never get the time. It would cost me £1 max to make about 150g of pasta, tin of tuna and 1/3 of pasta sauce. That would sort me for the day. Really need to start!
