My breakfast during the week is usually a hard boiled egg and toast or
peanut butter on toast. Less than 20 cents.

In recent years though, I've softened on that. Wednesday, along with
Sue at work, I have a bagel. Thursday I bring breakfast sandwiches from
McD. Mostly because I just don't feel like making breakfast ealy so 90
minutes later I eat at work and we chit chat for a while.

Weekends I will have a bigger breakfast, but often skip lunch.
