It probably takes me about 15 minutes of an evening to put together my food for the following day. Apart from price, I actually prefer my own stuff.

When I add everything up, it does indeed come to considerably more than a tenner, and my penchant for coffee adds to my expense at home and out and about.

Our office has a reasonable café where you can eat a decent meal and have a coffee for just over a fiver, which I think isn't too bad. But the main chains seem ridiculously expensive to me, especially since most of the food is (cheap) carbohydrate-loaded.
