Office workers spend £2,000 per year on lunch
The average British office worker shells out an incredible £2,000 a year - on their lunch, new research has revealed.
Despite the recession, a third of Brits still spend around £4 a day - that's £986.40 a year - on sandwiches, salads, baguettes and soup.
On top of that they will also shell out £1.33 a day on snacks between meals, adding up to £6.65 a week or £319.20 a year.
But it doesn't stop there. One in ten buys their breakfast every day, at a cost of £14.05 a week and one in 20 even heads to a cafe or restaurant for their lunch.
36 percent of people claim they do this because they're too lazy to make something at home… thought may just want any excuse to get away from colleagues.

Sandwiches are still the nation's favourite choice, with more than two thirds going for the lunchtime classic. A healthy salad came second, followed by a baguette, soup with bread and fruit.

A spokesman for Superdrug, which conducted the study of 3,000 workers, said: "It is understandable that Brits want a nice lunch to look forward to when they have been working hard all morning.
"But £2,000 a year on lunches across one year is a massive spend - especially when there are cheaper options out there."
