Me? I’m having a ham and coleslaw baguette, a packet of crisps and a chocolate bar, writes blogger Andrew Owen. What about you?

According to national reports, with the credit crunch biting and the future looking more and more uncertain, many of us are looking at ways of saving money – and for a growing number workers those savings start at lunchtime.

And with the average shop-bought sandwich costing around two pounds, let alone the crisps and drinks and chocolate to go with it, that’s at least £10 a week to be saved – over a month or a year that’s quite a tidy sum.

A spokesman for Asda in Donnington Wood said they had definitely noticed an increase in sales of food ingredients. He said people appeared to be turning away from ready meals in favour of preparing their own.

Meanwhile, at Tesco on the Wrekin Retail Park, manager Jim Bradford said although he hadn’t noticed any big increase in sales of meats or cheeses, “it wouldn’t surprise me, with money tight, that people are choosing the cheaper option”.

Mr Bradford, meanwhile, is not a sandwich man: Tesco runs a subsidised company canteen offering workers a full English breakfast for 66p.

For the rest of us, however, it’s a case of making our own.

Hopefully, this will quickly build up into a section of the website where readers can go for sweet sandwich inspiration once the thought of yet another round of cheese and pickle loses its appeal.
