I go to Nandos, 55 euro for a f##king chicken wrap!

The Backwards Man

All part of the weekly shop, haven't a clue how it breaks down

cherryghost

80 cents

Kevin McCloud

A tin of soup a day you are a savage op.

muppetkiller

8-10 Euro

Shenshen

Lunch today was a salad with lettuce, grated carrot, spring onion, beetroot, radishes, cucumber, chickpeas, avocado and a little Tomme de Savoy.
Dressed with salt, pepper, balsamic and olive oil.
Followed by an orange.

All in all, I would estimate about €1.50 to €2.00 maybe?

manlad

Its Free! along with breakfast and dinner. I pay my taxes.

conorh91

I make my own lunch. Probably costs about 5 euro (meat on a sandwich, fruit, bottled water from home, yoghurt)

5 euro tesco meal deal is equally good value, if you don't have time to make a lunch.

Not a cent, I'm an executive chef

King George VI

Probably about 10 quid a day. Back in my old job I'd spend around 20 a day. Not on expensive things, just on lots of little things. About 8 quid on big break and then little snacks throughout the day. Not even on sweets and chocolate, but a mix of fruit and sweets.

I can't think of lunches without someone who was on boards try to save for a ticket to Australia. Her lunch was a can of red bull and 2 packets of munchies. No matter how many times people try to explain how unhealthy it was. She seen nothing wrong with it

I remember that. Did she ever get there in the end?

looking_around

varies from day to day, week to week. (sometimes I eat left over dinner for lunch, sometimes just a packet of soup. The rare time I'll eat out..)

€10 for the entire week, most weeks. I kind of feel bad if it goes over that S:


Couldn't imagine buying lunch out every day O_O, that would get expensive!

seventeen sheep

I spend around a fiver most days. Screw it, I work hard, and we're not really into travel or holidays or any luxury items. So may as well spend it on my lunch. I sometimes make sandwiches in the mornings, but a lot of the time I'm not really bothered ... hard to work up an appetite that time of the day.

Mint Sauce

Is its a work day. Nothing.

wandatowell

I buy 5 chicken breasts for €5, a few wraps for around €2 and some uncle bens mexican rice that gets me 2 lunches for one pouch for €2 and some marinade €3

Costs about €15 quid maybe a small bit more. Lovely filling lunch. After a wee while I get bord then change up the rice and marinade.

15 for the week, I took it as.

uncle bens pouch of rice serves 2.

Tar.Aldarion

1 - 3 euro depending on what it is.

AndonHandon

€8-€10. Usually get soup and a roll or a salad box with a drink.

miezekatze

I usually bring leftovers or a sandwich I made myself, so wouldn't be much but I've no idea how much it would be per day on average. Some days I can't be bothered and eat out or to the canteen, but you quickly end up spending like 7-10 € for lunch then.

major bill

3 euro in total for breakfast and Lunch

minidazzler

Subway or similar crap - €6
Pint -€3.50
Chewing gum €0.80

So a tenner roughly.... 16 when I have college and work on the same day

zl1whqvjs75cdy

Buy supplies in aldi every week so about 3 quid a day.

Maybe she was hoping all the red bull would give her wings and she could fly there?:P

Was it two packets of munchies? I thought it was something even more depressing. Like a glance at a bar of chocolate or some dust or something.

Edit: Found the post! This was it...

It is mainly porridge for breakfast. Lunch is a can of red bull or lucozade. Dinner is crackers and cheese or poach egg on an oat cake.

About an hour and a half.

My lunch habits are a bit of a curiosity amongst my German co-workers, in that I tend to make my lunch and bring it to work. They tend to go out and buy it. They then eat it at their desks'; whilst I will almost always try and take at least 20 minutes to enjoy my lunch away from the desk.

I've never really worked out how much lunch costs me as a result. Perhaps €5 or €6 euro? Lunch is the meal I consider more sustenance than sensory pleasure. The benefits of a good breakfast are obvious to any of us who take the time to make it a meal worth eating. Dinner is a meal worth savouring. Lunch is just a break and some fuel for the afternoon push.

No steak slow heated on rocks for 30 days? I expected more than just 5 or 6 euro.

ShadowHearth

Nothing. I work as a chef. I don't pay anything for my breakfast, lunch or dinner, depending on shift I work.
I have completely empty fridge since Sunday and due to my shifts I wont need to get any food till next Sunday.
One benefit of being a chef on busy xmas time. .

Merrion

€6.50 soup and sandwich at the local deli.
(This is an impressive €1560 per year...)

Remmy

I usually make a lunch up but I might get a chocolate milk or something small to go with it sometimes so 99c. If I get lazy I'll get a bap or sandwich made up which would be around 4.50 ish.

I would be shaped like a fridge if I had that sweet deal

You work in Germany?, you've never mentioned.

I have tried to get out of bed for breakfast for almost 30 years and aside for a week or two in the summer when I'm on a mission I can't do it. But there's nothing like a good lunch on a breakfast less belly!!

Its €15 for the week. I cook the chicken in a george foreman and the rice gets nuked in the mircowave. Very very simple stuff.

osarusan

Homemade sandwich every single day.

Ham, cheese, and tomato every single day.

Pickles when I can find them.

Cup of coffee every single day.

Probably works out at.....250yen a day.

Zillah

Some days I am very good and I make a double portion for dinner and bring it in for lunch. Some days I am not so good and I spend ten quid in Marks and Spencers because it is nearby.

rainbow kirby

About £5 for a meal in the canteen at work and a coffee afterwards. Greek salad with a grilled chicken breast today.

3.95... spicey chicken fillet roll in Apple Green... oohh mama

That would cost way less than €5.

Eramen

€ 8 - 10 per week. I make at home a mixture or stews, curries, soups, salads for the week, something different each time.

I love the look of mixed appraisal/jealousy from people who buy their lunch everyday when I'm tucking into my Indian veg & chicken curry

branie2

a tenner

UCDVet

5-6 quid.

sh1tstirrer

It must be very hard to make a sandwich at home for a few cent. This is Eddie Hobbs worst nightmare.

j80ezgvc3p92xu

It depends. If I work I tend to spend like a madman, sometimes buying stuff that I dont even need. Now that I'm a poor student I try to take sandwiches from home. I get the "buy one get one free" pizza in Papa Johns with a friend on a Tuesday, works out about 6 quid each.

mrsbyrne

67c portion of spaghetti hoops
bread and butter for toast, coffee milk and sugar supplied by employer
75c yogurt.
