Budget lunch (1 Viewer)

[Wheels]

I'm a bit skint this week, so I thought I'd do my best to see how cheap I could get a fairly tasty and nutricious lunch for. I chose Tesco and gave myself €10 for the next three days (yes I'm working all weekend.)

3 organic raspberry yogurts €1.95
Head of round lettuce €€0.69
3 kiwi fruits €0.75
3 onion bagels €1.05
2 tomotoes €€0.58
tub of hummous €3.00
2lt water €0.35
Red pepper €0.99

total €9.36 or €3.12 a day. Quite pleased with that. Tasty and just filling enough. I splurged on the hummous and pepper, but I likes them. Pesto and some carrot for grating would have put me under the €3 mark.

I intend to try other combinations in the future. How low can you go?

I heard earlier that someone we know was in town one day, skint and starving. He saw a half sandwich in one of those premade newsagent packages in a bin. He reached in, fished it out and ate it.

Thats thrift!

The cheapest most satifying feed has gotta be beans on toast.

Word, 200g of beans is about 60c, get a half loaf of bread for about a quid. That's what, four lunches for four fifty?

Ah Moro, the food of pasty faced, insipid kings.

Yeah and Tesco chicken noodles are 14 cent. Beans on toast are fine, but I was making an attempt to cover a few food groups and appeal to my sense of taste a bit more than that.

BRAN FLAKES RULES. I'd eat nothing but bran flakes but I tried that last week and my ma gave out to me. You'd swear it was fucking bowels of butter I was eating.

Bowels of butter? Jaysus.

my staple low-cost foodstuff is potatoes.
always have a massive bag of them at home; cheap and useful in hungry situations.

bag of apples.
bag of oranges.

For only €1? Jeepers, that one slipped under the radar.
