Damn man, where do you get lunch for £2.40 a day? Even our subsidised canteen hits £4 no bother (admittedly I'm getting a hot meal)

Edit: and the penny drops. That's the difference between buying and bringing from home, still got to factor in the supplies

The cheapest and easiest way I've found for the lunch problem is making it in the office. Buy a loaf of bread, some cup-a-soup, ham, cheese, pickle, whatever you fancy and then make fresh sandwiches every lunch. Takes five minutes and saves a fair bit of money.
Oh if I make it at home the cost is variable, between 50p and £3, generally in the middle. £2.40 is the cost of a sandwich deal in the grim North.
