      How cheap could you eat?

      How cheap could a nutritious diet be? Where taste is a secondary consideration.

      Example of one days food:

      Breakfast:
      Muesli = 5.2p (+ a bit more for milk if you is posh)
      Porridge = 7p " (+ 10p cooking if you is really posh)

      Lunch and dinner/tea:
      Rice = £1.34 / kg or 13p a portion (+10p to cook)
      Spuds = 36p / kg or 4p a portion (+10p to cook)
      Bread = 10p / portion
      Beans = 20p / can (+5p to cook)
      Sausages = 20p for a cheap sausage (you need a bit of meat).

      Pudding:
      A can of creamed rice is only about 20p

      Drinks:
      Water = 0p (sourced from the water butt if necessary).
      or tea where heating costs dominate.

      Apple a day = 16p


      So 1 days food could be Muesli + Beans + Spuds + Bread + Rice + Apple = 93p

      About a pound a day? And much less if you bought huge bags of spuds/porridge/rice?

        You've not really grasped this contracting lark, have you?

          And you will only get "a bit of meat" in a 20P sausage.

          You are better off buying cheap offcuts from the butcher if you're that hard up.

                Eat as much as you like of everything you like.

                Then down a bottle of Vodka and puke it all back up again.

                  Yeah, one day's food, if you're a field mouse.

                    That's fine for a jungle-dwelling chimp.

                    We have a tea-trolley three times a day laden with bacon butties, hot sausage rolls, crisps, chocolate, cakes and biccies.

                      Or, I could just shoot myself in the face. Besides, anyone that buys a salad in McDonalds is a homo.
