Nothing, I've not eaten lunch when working for going on 25 years.
How much do you spend on food at work?

Homemade sandwich ~70p, lunch is same as dinner from night before, probably ~£2, and a banana ~10p. Tea and water free at work. £10 a day that some of you lot are spending is insanity in my eyes!

Always have breakfast at home and try to take some fruit into the office. Lunch in the restaurant everyday with a good selection of hot meals, £3.33 a day..
You have your evening meal at work?
*looks at location* Ohhhhhh
(It's lunch fgs!)
Ha!
Dinner ladies! So its dinner. So be fair, I use both words to mean the middle meal of the day, but normally, I say dinner
Hmm I guess I worded it poorly. Yeah there were water boilers. But milk + tea + coffee is all free at my new company. Yeah - facilities was not the right word.
I can get a meal deal in the canteen, £2.50 for a Main meal, yogurt or fruit and bottle of water. This is only available at lunchtime.
Breakfast at work is all the usual greasy stuff...and its expensive!
The problem is, there is no really healthy options and eating lasagna and chips every day aint good.
I just Bring in Tuna / meat salad sandwiches, Bottle of Robinsons Barley water diluted from an old bottle and and have a jar of cofee in the office.

£2 a week to use the shared milk. Although we get free months when there's surplus money in the kitty.
So just milk, at cost. Cafeteria upstairs is expensive, but people say the food is nice. Much too tight to buy it tho
Won't even splurge £3 a day for the Sainsbury's meal deal. I'm saving those pennies.

About £1.50 per day. I take a microwave packet of rice and a tin of mackerel, a price of fruit and a small bag of popcorn. It does get samey and I occasionally go out for lunch on a friday where I'll spend £5-£10.
Personally it cost me nothing. I always bring a packed lunch but on the odd occasion I forget, I'd buy something and pass it as an expense on the company. They're happy to pay provided it's not a daily thing. Think I done it less than 5 times this year.

After years of bringing my own lunch to work I've fallen into a cycle of just buying lunch every day. I really need to stop this and get back into the routine of making my lunch myself the night before. I'm probably spending about £6 per day just now...

i try and bring a packed lunch 3/4 times a week.
i always eat out on a friday as a treat, but never spend too much, £3 subway deal or something
if i do spend out i normally hit up tesco and grab something cheap, or like a box of something that i can eat over the next few days (4 x pineapple cups today as a matter of fact
)

I've stopped now but if I got a breakfast butty (don't need to eat anything else at work then) it used to be £3 a day.
I've started bringing my own sandwiches in and it's working out considerably cheaper. I'll have the odd splurge on a Friday with getting Fish and chips and that comes in just under £5.

Mental. Paying £2-3 for porridge is crazy town when you can get a 1kg bag of oats for like £1. I know obviously, markup is markup but on porridge it's especially brutal. Why not do overnight oats? Even if you haven't got time to eat at home you can bring it in to work.
