How much is does your breakfast cost? - Tell us in the comments
Yesterday we posted our first "How Much Does It Cost" question, where we are gauging how much minimum wage is where you live.
We have had varied responses which go from $25 USD per month in Nigeria, to $18 per hour in some parts of US, California to $6USD per day in Morelos. We will keep compiling the list, so go please tell us minimum wage in your region.
Today, we are seeing how much breakfast items cost.
Please tell us how much you pay for:
Dozen Eggs
Gallon of Milk (or a litre?)
Bag of Bread
Bacon
Here in California, I would pay:
About $2USD for a dozen eggs
About $3USD for a gallon of Vitamin D Milk
About $3.50 for a pound of bread
About $8USD for a pound of bacon
I KNOW prices can vary greatly, and that there are many variables, but we are just gauging basic differences.
Please tell us how much these items cost in your region, and if the items I mentioned are too expensive or not consumed, let us know what you eat for breakfast.
As an added value of information, I would like to inform you that here, in Chula Vista, ALL KIDS have been getting FREE Breakfast since the beginning of the school year. Once per week we pick up fruit, milk, and whole grains for free. This is available to all children between 2-18.

Dozen Eggs
Gallon of Milk (or a litre?)
Bag of Bread
Bacon
1 euro per lt milk
1.20 eggs
70 cents for bread
Dunno about bacon. I must ask wife but she's sleeping
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for sharing, and thanks for NOT waking the wife to ask. Ahhhh, sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
A gallon of milk is 3.79 litre so your cost milk is 3,79 euro.
It's a bit different for us since we raise our own chickens and bake our own bread.
In Spokane WA though:
With birds laying, a dozen eggs costs us less than a dollar in feed.
My bread loaves cost about a dollar in ingredients.
We do buy Almond Milk instead of cow milk and it is $2/half gallon
Bacon in the store is about $6/pound depending on the brand.
Thank you for sharing, I knew it would be difficult to gauge for some, especially for those who grow their own food.
Something you didn't include in the price of your eggs, is the price of the land or the cost analysis of caring for birds.
I read your reply and automatically was wistful for a place where I can have bird laying eggs, then remembered the time and space I would need to do that.
The land is essentially amortized into the eggs, (or is it eggs into the land?) at this point, since they mostly free range the farm it is hard to gauge an exact value. My coop also houses my walk-in cooler for the farm so it has been accounted for long ago. My time is rather immaterial given they require VERY little care. All of this by design to reduce my costs and effort involved. If I were selling the eggs I would likely be profiting from the hens.
Now the meat birds are bit different story as they need much more care and feed so the costs on our chicken meat are about the same as the stores ~$2-3/pound.
If you have any yard at all you can have a couple laying hens at least since most cities and towns allow some form of backyard hens, just not roosters.
Karlsruhe, Southern Germany here. Most prices vary hugely depending on what quality you buy with Bio quality costing at least twice of what the cheapest one would cost. Same for bread, real bread from a bakery would be 200%-300% of what you pay for "bread" at the discounter. I'll try to give a median price for each piece:
Dozen Eggs -> 1.2$ (only for 10 though, never sold in dozens around here)
Gallon of Milk (or a litre?) -> 1.2$/litre
Bag of Bread -> 1$
Bacon -> 0.8$
I don't eat breakfast at all so at least that would be free ;-)

The Bio Stuff is what I think we call organic and it can be highly expensive here too with the bio milk costing almost 9 dollars per gallon.
I was trying to keep it simple... like when my grandma goes to the market. In Mexico for example, there is no Bio Option, but then again, they can't have any GMO's there.
Food is a mes.
Thanks for your response, it seems so far like breakfast items seem to cost the same in many places.
Googled it and it indeed is called organic in English ;-)
Also agree on the impression that breakfast stuff seems to be about the same in a lot of places - lunch and especially dinner is probably where it varies more.

That depends on what you are going to eat.
What has silver. Sometimes what is achieved.
Dozen Eggs $ 1.7
Gallon of milk. $ 2
Bag of bread 1.5 $

That sounds ridiculous given the $1 per month minimum wage.

That news is from two months ago here the dollar increases every day.

Total to eat to satisfaction.

Sounds good. What would be included in that $5 meal?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

On your previous post you asked
This is a cooked breakfast that can vary a bit depending on which part of the country you are in. It's eaten more often at weekends and for get togethers. Not enough time during the week. 😁
It generally comprises eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, baked beans, toast, sometimes fried potatoes, sometimes black pudding.
I would guess the most common breakfast in the UK is cereal or just toast.
Prices on the items you mentioned vary a good deal depending on where you buy them. In the area I live, for example, there are lots of artisan bakeries where a loaf of bread can start from £1.90 for a small loaf to £4.90.
In a general supermarket you could pay anything depending on whether you go for white sliced massed produced at £0.99 or store baked bloomer £2.50.
Same for eggs and milk. More expensive if you go free range and more still if you go organic.
Standard dozen eggs £1.60 - Farm free range dozen Eggs - £3.00
Milk 1 litre - 85p
Bacon 300g - £1.70

I am vegetarian so no idea of eggs and bacon.

Per day my breakfast cost:
Oats 0.25$
Oat milk 0.63$ (I drink the most expensive oat milk)
Cinnimom ??$$$ dno. Cheap.
I buy 4 packs of different seeds blend them and use 10g per day, so I don't know the exactly price.

In Wisconsin in the US:
Eggs I usually pay about $5 a dozen or so, but I buy the pasture-raised kind. I'm not sure it makes a huge difference, but I do like to support the idea. For store brand grade-A cage-free large eggs, it's $1.69 a dozen.
I don't really buy milk, but I looked it up at the supermarket I go to most often and it's about $2.75 for a gallon. I buy a quart/liter of half & half for my coffee regularly and those are around $2.39.
We pay around $3 for a loaf of bread.
Bacon I pay about $5-6 per pound.
I never eat breakfast, though. haha.
