cereal, peeling a banana or making oatmeal? Breakfast is an expensive meal to eat out especially when you can eat at home for under $3, you spend $7-10 to eat breakfast out unless you eat off the dollar menu at McDonalds or something. My kids feed themselves in the morning, though if they want eggs on the weekend we cook them, not them as they are 8 and 10. As suggested below for dinner make up meals in advance and freeze into single size serving containers that can go from freezer to microwave, and date them so the oldest gets used first. Lasagna, spaghetti, chicken parm, meat loaf, pot roast, etc. You can also buy some frozen dinners at the store, we do as backup when we don't feel like cooking, but we only do it when they are on sale. My DH buys them when they are $1 or $2, cannot beat that for a cheap quick dinner. (Marie Callanders, and there is one other cheap one out there, single serving entree). I get HC or LC dinners when they are on sale for $2 or less just to have a few on hand for lunch or dinner.
