Only reason I've started cooking for myself & budgeting is I'm saving up to move in with my gf. I realised my food budget was around 50 quid a week and I've got it to around 20 now. Cutting out fizzy drinks as well. roughly 30 quid a month. all adds up.

I'm kind of shocked you spend £50 a week on breakfast/lunch. My weekly food shop costs £40 for me and the Mrs and that includes my lunches for the week.magma wrote:And isn't your method "unnecessarily wasteful" of your spare time?wub wrote:See, that just seems unnecessarily wasteful.magma wrote:About £7 a day... £3ish for a hot pastry and a can of fizzy apple juice in the morning, £4 for a baguette and a bag of fruit at lunch.wub wrote:Does that cost a bomb though?magma wrote:Standardly, I'm a Pret man.

Tbh, it just depends what you're used to... I've bought breakfast and lunch since I started working full time nearly 15 years ago. I budget 50/week for it and always have... normally end up with enough left over for a pint or a few.
I try occasionally to take sandwiches or leftovers, but if I haven't got a proper excuse to go outside for half an hour, I find myself sitting at my desk for the entire day and I'd have a nervous breakdown after a week of that... it's £4 for a lunchtime walk along the riverfront as much as anything.
Why not save the £4 and walk along the riverfront eating a sandwich you made at home?

I don't eat breakfast either at home or work so I save a bit there, probably costs me about £20 a week for lunch

i'd much rather pay the £3 than have to make and eat a horrible, soggy and warm sandwich everyday

My sandwich game is fucking on point to be fair so maybe that's why I don't mind too much.

turning everything into a soup is fucking sick
i made a roast dinner soup/gravy a few weeks ago
a full plate of roast dinner left overs blended carelessly

1hr on a Sunday isn't a waste of spare time to me, compared with the cost/time savings it brings during the week.

Fair enough, the outside walk thing I can totally understand. 20mins round the block for me here makes the world of difference to my afternoon mood, I findmagma wrote:Tbh, it just depends what you're used to...

Blenders are for fruit, meat and veg should stay clear
