    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Usually about £1.00. per day.
    Sandwiches or soup, crisps, fruit and a piece of cake.
    If you do not have time, or leave for work to early, a good idea is to take some cereal in a bowl, with sealed lid, and add some milk when ready.:j

    Usually less then £1 and if on the odd chance I eat out it is usually with mum and we look for any of the meal deal (2 for price of 1 or £6 for 2 courses) so we are always on the lookout to save money!
