Probably about a fiver but it all depends where you go.
At home, smoked bacon on tiger bread with Worcester sauce is a firm favourite of mine.. |

A close friend of mine owns a greasy spoon, so I don't pay a penny. And it's top notch too, he's quite posh and sources all his ingredients from local farms and the like. Does a proper strong brew too, and uses tin mugs instead of china mugs.

I am well aware
![]() But just visualise if you will, you want to make one single cooked breakfast and have no intention of using any of the leftover ingredients ever again. Is that cooked breakfast you made at home still cheaper than one you could go to a cafe and order? Bacon in particular is one of the most useful and versitile ingredients I can think of. It is inconceivable to me that I would have left over bacon. Even from the list of breakfast ingredients I would use some of the "left over" bacon with the half can of tomatoes and mushrooms and add an onion, garlic and maybe some olives or peppers to make a ragu for pasta the next day.

Right, government petition on it's way that standardizes the Great British Breakfast!
Hmmm, maybe there's a TV show in there somewhere? ![]()

Well as someone who cooks daily and uses bacon, eggs, mushroms, tomatos etc on a regular basis - perhaps not daily but more than once in a week - I can't visualise the unusable left overs scenario. I don't have leftovers except for vegtable peelings. Even bones and chicken carcusses are used to make stock.

Leftover bacon? No - never heard of it. We can't get enough of the stuff
![]() Most things of a savoury nature, can be improved by the addition of bacon, cheese - or both ![]() .. a few bacon scraps in soups and cassaroles makes the world of difference. Amazing what a delicous concoction you can make with turtle or borlotti beans, some bacon, an onion, a pepper and some herbs and stuff or a bacon and borlotti risotto is one of my favourites and as it happens dinner tonight!And this will horrify some FMs but I buy bacon scraps from Morrisons at 80p for 500grammes or Home Bargains £1.29 for 900 grammes for recipes such as these.

Yes, and better quality probably.
You just don't buy singly that's all. But then that doesn't mean you have to buy in bulk either. You can probably buy all those ingredients in small family packs that would cost you less than a tenner, but you would get at least half a dozen meals out of it, so it works out cheaper overall. |

No, not at all. Just done a quick shop on tesco direct for all of the above ingredients and yes it did come to more than a tenner ( £13.50) but using their finest sausages, ordinary bacon, Hovis bread, Napolina Tomatoes, McCain hash browns, fresh mushrooms etc.
All in one place, good quality food, and way less than £4 per meal. ![]() |

But could you make a business out of it? after factoring all the rent/NNDR/gas/electricity/water rates and what ever.
The mark up on food is absolutely enormous, but it's the infrastructure that costs the money. |

How about the Ikea breakfast? Good value especially if you have a family card free coffee.

Ikea breakfast? How does that work? They provide the ingredients and you cook them yourself?

I want one cooked breakfast, I don't want to cook for a lot of people or have a cooked breakfast every day. So in my case that breakfast would cost me £13.50.

Yes but you have to go around the enitre store (at a snails pace behind the hoards) hunting for them first.

No more than 7 quid. There used to be a lovely one where I worked that did great food. Unfortunately it has changed owners now and it's all bargain basement sausages and bacon.
