I woke up to the smell of bacon. My amazing husband made breakfast this morning. French toast, bacon, fresh fruit, and coffee... delicious! We are always looking for ways to save money and this morning was no exception. We decided to figure out how much breakfast cost. Here was the breakdown:
Loaf of bread - $0.65
6 Eggs - $0.50
12oz Bacon - $3.50
Fruit - $2.00
TOTAL - $6.65
It's a little more difficult to figure the exact cost of the syrup we used and the coffee we drank. However, we figured that it cost at most $1.25 per person for our family of six. And we had leftovers!
Consider the option of eating out. Last week this same amazing husband took me out for breakfast for my birthday. Being the frugal people we are, we took a coupon. Buy one meal and two drinks, get a meal free. Even with this coupon we ended up spending $20 including the tip. That's $10 a person compared to $1.25. Maybe it's occasionally acceptable for my birthday or other special occasion, but eating out often will certainly bust your budget. To be honest, our homemade breakfast tasted just as good and for the price you just can't beat it.
