Vegetarian rissoto is healthy and cheap,
learn to bone a chicken then you'll get 2-3 times the amount of meat for your money.
Chicken wings are dirt cheap and you can make a suprising amount from them, slow cooker stews/hot wings etc.
Wasting food is the main problem, plan what you could do with leftovers for every meal. Also get decent things to store your leftovers in.

serious answer to the sandwich thing?
it's a value of time thing. To me, it's worth the £60 a month sandwiches probably cost me to not have to get up in the morning 10 minutes earlier and make them, and not having to either go to get fresh bread every other day or be arsed to make bread all the time.

Beef mince tends to be pretty lean anyway
That why lardons are needed to up the fat content and add flavour

Erm, why?
we need fat in our diets. We'd die without it. Less of it is only healtier if you're already eating too much of it. It is, if anything, less healthy to have less fat if you're considering it in isolation.

i thought it was 70g per day for a bird
or 50g if you are trying to lose weight, and 100g for a bloke or 70g if he is trying to shift some excess.
but 70g a day sounds like a LOT to me.

Trouble is people are used to supermarket stuff
I actually thought that a Tesco finest steak was good until I tasted a steak from the butchers down the road. All Tesco steak is flavourless arse, its just the level of shitless increases the further down the range.
