I only spend whatever it costs on petrol. Bring my own lunch. No option to 'buy' anything.

[triple-M]

about 8 euro on diesel and 3 euro on grub and 1 euro on a coffee if im early

For a few years, I was spending over €90 a day on childcare, €10 on petrol and sometimes €5 on lunch (though I generally bought in a packed lunch) which meant I had virtually nothing left at the end of the week.

But I'm glad I persevered as now the children are older and going to afterschool, my outgoings are a lot less.

Same lunch every day, more-or-less. Sandwich costs the same regardless of what I get, drink costs the same.

[mark_jmc]

approx €15 per day petrol
approx €3 per day food

[neil_hosey]

15 a day on food (brekky and lunch)
3 on a return dart

so 18 squid a day.



50 on after work pints twice a week

[Esoteric_]

4.30 a day on travel. 2 euro for an energy drink. Free food in work, although I rarely eat it because it's fast food and I don't eat fast food unless desperate!

So around 6.50 a day.

[Duggy747]

20 minute walk to work so I have to stretch the budget to €3 a day on food.

Tis' not aaasy,

I get a free lunch and free parking which is very handy but beyond that;

€13 on diesel (not counting in tax/insurance/maintenance etc as I enjoy the car on the weekends)
€2.80 M3 toll (for both journeys)
€4.00 M50 toll (for both journeys)

(difference between driving from just outside Navan to citywest=
40-55 minutes in the car Vs 2hrs+ on public transport
(1.5 hours on the 109 then 40 minutes on the Luas, on a very good day!))

So €19.80 for commuting and maybe a pizza for later on =2.20 (aldi/Lidl)

€22/day

I can imagine with bus /train fares and a sambo it could be loads more than that now. Oh and I bought a 50gm pack of tobacco about every 4 days. What do you spend ?

how much is your travel pass? or does that not count.
