(Based on 5 day work week)
Breakfast – 2.00
Recess – 1.70
Lunch – 2.70
Teabreak – 0.60
Dinner – 3.00
Total spent – 10.00
Scenario 1.1 (daily)
Skip breakfast – savings of 2.00
Heavier recess – 2.00
Lighter lunch – 1.80
Teabreak – 0.60
Dinner – 3.00
Total savings – (2.00 + 1.70 + 2.70 + 0.60 + 3.00 –2.00 -1.80) = 2.60
Grand total savings per week = (5 x 2.60) = 13.00
Grand total saved per week at 13.00 is equivalent to enjoying ONE fast food meal per week.
Scenario 1.2 (weekly)
One kid's sized fast food meal instead – 6.75
Total savings = (13.00 – 6.75) = 6.25
Grand total savings per week = 6.25
Grand total saved per week at 6.25 is equivalent to food for THREE hamsters for THREE months.
Scenario 1.3 (three months)
If I were to share food with my 3 pet hamsters, I would enjoy further savings of (3 x 4 x 10.00) = 120.00. Afterall, hamsters' diet is healthy and nutritious: sunflower seeds, oats, rice, dried carrots, barley and biscuits etc.
Wholesome goodness !!!

The hamster equation is confusing cos here's my calculation :
Food for 3 hamster for 3 months = $6.25
Food for 1 Lin assuming 20 work days a month for 3 months = $10 x 20 x 3 = $600
If Appetite of 1 Lin = Appetite of 1 Hamster
Food for 1 Lin for 3 months = 6.25/3 = 2.08333 round of to the 5 decimal place
Therefore 3 month's saving is $600 - $2.08333
Which is a lot of savings. LOL
No...No...No...1 Lin's appetite does not equate that of 1 ham ham...
Do I qualify to be a full time Financial Planner then? LOL
Even if 1 Lin = 10 hamsters, that's still a pretty good savings solution.
I just pray you do not start running in wheels and around tunnels
