    Probably less than a dollar. I usually have a fluffernutter or a protein shake and a piece of fruit.

    Ooohhh, a fluffernutter. That's fun to say. What is it?

    I always eat breakfast at home, so very little. I usually have egg on toast or cereal with fruit. Probably costs me 40cents either way.

    I never eat breakfast. Maybe once or twice a year. So, that would be €0.00

    I have a husband & 3 kids to get ready in the morning. Start with a pot of boiling water for instant oatmeal 10 pkg. for $1.50. scramble 1 doz. eggs $1.25 & everybody gets 1/2 a banana (1 bunch for $2.00). For a family of 5 = $4.25. I would think that's money well spent on something else.

    Half a bagel (local grocery store brand, frozen) with a bit of cream cheese, and a thermos of coffee. The coffee is probably about the most expensive. Somewhere around a buck or so, total, I'd imagine.

    I buy a big tub of chobani ($5) and a bunch of fresh berries ($8) and some granola ($2) at the start of every week so I probably spend about $3/day.

    then I spend 1.70 on my morning coffee while at work b/c I have way to long of a walk to carry a coffe cup on top of everything else.

    I bought one of the thermoses with the built in lid/cup from LL Bean, it came with a nylon drawstring bag that has a carrying strap, keeps a bunch of coffee in it, and will keep it piping hot for over an hour (longer if it's in the bag, well over a day if I wrap it in a towel in my backpack when hiking). I sip at hot coffee all morning.

    I also picked up an insulated zip-close lunch bag from the same source to carry all my other food in.

    Protein shake here, so less than a dollar?

    Spending $6 on one meal is over $1500 a year on that one item. If you can afford it, go for it! If you can't, don't.

    My bag of granola with mixed berries is around €4, my bag of linseed is around €3, and my natural yoghurt is around €1.50.

    So that's 8.50/7 days (usually get more than this out of the linseed and granola) and it's just over €1 a day.

    I think your best bet is to eat breakfast at home more often.

    You didn't have fluffernutters growing up? You poor thing. It's a Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter sandwich. It's heaven.

    Usually some cereal at 10 servings for 4 dollars a box that's 40 cents, about 10 cents for the milk, usually an orange at 50 cents and quite often a granola bar at 40 cents.

    So about $1.40 for around 400 calories.

    1 dollar about.
    2 eggs = 60 cents
    8oz of almond milk = 40 cents.

    Gives me about 12 grams of protein and 30% of my calcium requirements which are two things I'm focusing on in terms of eating.

    However about 10am everyday I eat a banana. Not sure if that's snack, breakfast, or the start to my lunch, lol. So maybe over a $1?
