i'm nowhere near as organised as some of you in budgeting. not having kids makes life easier; plus our mortgage is not onerous at all; we were lucky to be able to buy our house in 2012 pretty much at the bottom, and got a nice place for the money.

We were…not able to do that.
If we ever get a mortgage and a house of our own, that chunk I’ve been saving for The Deposit will probably go straight into my pension.

Delighted to hear this. I know loads of people whose lives are absolutely destroyed by not being able to secure reasonably priced, stable accommodation while also in their 30s, 40s and 50s.
yeah, that's why i said we were lucky.

This isn't a chicken fillet roll. It's Cajun chicken and a birra salad. Daylight robbery.

Dunnes have really good rolls and wraps for cheaper than that. The hot roast beef with pickles and horseradish is delicious and about €5.50ish.
Aldi vegan “street food” wrap = €2.99

That sounds like a turnip in a bit of bead.
It’s nice. Their hummus and falafel wraps are ok too (also €2.99) but not as good.

And don't say pack a lunch. If I pack a lunch it never makes it past 11am.
a few months ago i stopped into burger king to line my stomach before meeting some friends in a pub - i think it was €11 for a chicken royale meal? i had thought it was going to be about €8 or €9.
Same thing is over £11 in suburban Lahndan. And it is rubbish.
it was pretty poor indeed.
BK Veggie Bacon King is nice

I have a real problem buying prepared food. Like it makes me lazy or something.
I won't even buy like pre-made salads at the supermarket.
I make decent money, but I still go down to the food co-op where they have €2 bags every Friday with spuds and sprouts and other veg and they'll throw in a load of bread for another quid.
Like technically it's for people struggling financially, but I go down to show support. And get cheap food.
I still do buy takeaways and that, but it's not an automatic thing. Like it's a treat or a reward. But also it's not good for you. Loaded with crap.
I feel weird not bringing lunch to work.

I think or hope it was mislabelled wrong. There was no sauce. Cajun chicken, lettuce, coleslaw.
I was the same when I was working in town. No kitchen to re-heat anything and it was cold so I felt even hungrier. There were feck-all options around North Frederick Street at the time, too, unless you like under-seasoned soup from The Lovin Spoon.
