How much on average do you spend on lunch at work/school?

I'd say $10-$15 most weeks, I get those split-pea-soup add-water things and have that with yogurt. Pretty cheap, and I always drink tons of water. My last company had us all going out all the time, but here we mostly eat in at the conference room table.

I usually eat lunch at home, but on those rare occasions when I am out with friends for lunch I spend $5 to $10.

1 sandwich, a bottle of odwalla, and some chips comes to about 7 bucks where I live. I do that twice a week and bring lunch the other days. That means lunch costs $14 bucks a week (yeesh, that's expensive)

Well, I usually bring a bottle of spring water to work with me everyday, if that counts, so that's about a dollar a day....and I usually don't eat lunch, but If I do, I just get a bagel which costs me about a dollar also

I eat out two days, and bring my lunch the other three during the week. weekends I eat when I am hungry, so they don't count.
however, I still suppliment my sandwiches with stuff from the nosh machine...

kadai: How much does the lunch you take to work cost? My intent was total cost of lunch, not just eat-out lunch.

Way too much. And this doesn't even count the coke machine money.

I eat the same lunch almost everyday, and it costs me $10 every week day. I never did the math until now, and I see that I coughing up $200 dollars a month for lunch. Wow, what a waste.

$1 for a tv dinner, and misc fruit, bread and snacks bring it up another $1 or so. So $10 to $15 per week.

I make lunch most days for Kelly and myself. I figure it saves us about $150 a month.

I eat lunch out just because it gets me away from my desk for a while.

After tracking my expenses with Quicken I realized I spent so much money on lunch that I try to bring my own all the time now.

I rarely eat lunch; when I do it's in the $5-$10 range. Averaged over a few months it's < 2.50/week.

I think most people filled this in thinking it was 'per day'. Then again, this is just about my entire food budget for the week.

Pandora: we can't all be genii and come up with brilliant questions like you.

assy? ...cool, a new word! I'm going to start using it right away.

I should make my lunch more, but I'm lazy. Who wants to work all day, then have to go home and slave over a hot stove for an hour to make a decent meal? No thanks...

drdt, no need to get assy. Cool name, by the way. Ha.
Same to you Bill. Bill. Awesome.

I bring lunch from home. Usually just a sandwich. I've never bothered to do a break down of how much the ingredients cost per sandwich.
