What's on the menu?
So I'm sitting here eating my recession-busting supermarket own brand chicken curry noodles for lunch for £0.29 (approx 45 cents Euro/$). Can anyone beat my thriftiness? What do you all consume for lunch in general?

I'm rather fond of packet pasta mixes. I cant remember who makes them.
King Li noodles from Lidl, soups and stuff. I hate eating cold lunches.

Hey, I may have spent $11 or so for my jalapeno/tomato/onion/cabbage brisket, but it will last a week. So, that's about $1.50 a day.

My lunch = nothing, usually.

Re: What's on the menu?
On weekdays, I don't eat lunch. Won't pay for school food because of price and quality (or lack thereof), and already stated I can't eat lunch cold (unless its an egg/tuna mayonnaise sandwich. Which would probably go bad). On weekends, I trade lunch for breakfast, and dont eat the latter.
Re: What's on the menu?
When lunch rolls around, I'll likely go up to a local cafe for a "Loco Moco" (a local dish involving two over easy eggs on top of a hamburger patty, resting on a bed of white asian rice, smothered in brown gravey).
Price, $7.95

I almost never eat breakfast. I'm just not hungry right after I wake up.

Re: What's on the menu?
Yeah, that's what I figured. Would it be any cheaper if you made your own food?

To a degree with certain foods. If you wanted to good steak dinner with all the trimmings it costs about the same as buying it, and the salad stuff, and the veggies.
Of course, our newest member, Kymberly (if she ever gets around to posting) acutally made me grow grocery shopping and has been cooking for me.
Did anyone else know that there is a drawer in the fridge JUST for fruits and veggies?????
