For myself, veges would cost more than meat for myself, meats are shredded, but I would struggle to eat that diet (linked above) myself unless I really had to ... never been a fan of can foods or hamburgers for dinner. Wheetbix is for breakie which I hardly have time .. lunch is leftovers. But its interesting to see that Wheetbix is more than porridge and that a boiled egg on toast cost more than each them both. But having said that, in my student days I could buy a small packet of mince and had that for 4 dinners.	Nomad (952)

665682	2008-05-04 23:08:00	This is worse: www.nzherald.co.nz Beef cheek????!!!!!!!!! He's a bit cheeky suggesting that. The meal sounds a bit poofy. A bit small too. just imagine coming home from a hard day at work and having that put in front of you. My question would be..."where is the main course?" Mind you, I am old school as far as eating goes. SWMBO hates taking me out for a meal. Says I am a real embarrassment. Ken :drool	kenj (9738)
