How much do you spend on food at work?

If the canteen is staffed usually about £2.50 for breakfast (english breakfast, bowl of fruit, oj) and a further £2.50 for lunch (e.g. rice, salmon, veggies, and a slice of cheesecake).

If not then £2 on ready meals or a sandwich and some sides from the vending machines.
 
£1 to £1.20 a week on a Friday whether I want an energy drink to take home to have Saturday morning. I bring my own food from home, 1 crusty roll with cheese tomato and cucumber and 1 pack of crisps which lately I've not been eating. 3 weeks worth of food for work costs me between £5 and £10.
 
Up until recently About £15 a day, breakfast was usually a croissant or choc au pain and a bottled drink from the garage, then what ever took my fancy at lunch from the shop so either a sandwhich, drink crisps and chocolate, or hot food, salad from M and S etc. Now I take in a bagel with either peanut butter or marmite for breakfast and I take in a lunch which I cook something specific for lunch the night before or will be a left over portion if it lends itself to be taken in an reheated. saving a fortune and eaiting a lot healthier.
 
Should have added it's nigiri - and yes, not the best you can get, of course, but it's cheaper at the station than going to one of the same company's stores :p

(Also check location, seafood is the thing here)
 
Porridge at home for breakfast.
Lunchtime home made sandwich, with apple and pear. Banana for earlier in the morning if i get a two minutes break.

Occasionally switch up with a tescos country farm soup instead.
 
Less than 3 quid a day when at the old manufacturing site via a heavily subsidised restaurant. When I relocated to the West London HQ I was spending anywhere between 4 and 10 quid a day. Now I have no idea but considering I have no commuting costs and WfH I’m definitely in the black (and fatter)!
 
52p per day for my 2 pints of green tea.

Every 4 weeks on payday I treat myself to a Lorne & Tattie scone roll for breakfast so an extra £1.15.

Last of the big spenders me ;)

£0

I eat breakfast at home and then skip lunch during weekdays and have dinner at home. I have a coffee at lunch to kerb hunger.

Probably not the best thing to but until I get back in the gym I'm kerbing food and I save so much money!
 
Just started a new job, high quality cooked meals in the £3.50 range. Free unlimited espresso/latte/mocha etc.

Compared to my last company which could creep up to £5 for lunch, and no free tea/coffee facilities etc. Much better off here.

I don't eat breakfast.
 
£5.20 a day - eat the same breakfast and lunch every day lol. Expensive but it also means I don't go shopping very often at all, as I will generally have something basic and cheap for tea at night.

Not even a kettle?
 
Depends.

I generally contract in the middle east, so I will live out of a hotel for the duration (5 star of course). If on-site my meals are free. If I'm working from my hotel room, I pay £30-150/meal then claim it all back as expenses.

So nothing basically.

On the odd occasion I need to butter someone up, spending a few grand over a lunch isn't unheard of.

Me too, I gave up work, it was interfering with my hedonistic lifestyle, but when I was working, as a black cab driver, I'd skip breakfast, maybe two black coffees, and have a take-out sandwich at midday, from Pret, and a café Americano, about £3.75 to £4.75 then, maybe £5.50 to £6.50 now.

Not cool Marvt, I drove a Royal Mail truck for 20-22 months while doing the Knowledge, I put on over 12kg by constantly being in the canteens, waiting for orders.

Do you eat commas for breakfast?
 
If you count bringing food in, usually £10-14 per week. Mostly I'll skip breakfast and make lunch, occasionally I'll get a £3 meal deal if I can't be bothered to make anything.
