Please can you tell me what YS stands for, I am probably being dumb. Also, how can you get a sandwich for 36p?

Hello,
Just checking in to report my sins. Last week started off well and I took lunch in Mon-Wed. By Wednesday I was dreading lunch, as all week was cheese and cucumber sandwiches, which normally I love but I am now sick of the sight of.
The latter end of the week was so much of a fail. Plus I'm working today and have already indulged in a Mcdonald's breakfast.
My total spend this week is £13. Still only a third of what I would normally spend.
ETA: Looking at all of your interesting lunches, I think I need to be a bit more creative next week so that I don't get bored and give up.0
