Cheapest lunch ever!

I started planning our weekly lunches last night and decided since it was going to be hot I didn't really want sandwiches.
I cooked half a kilo bag of pasta, a pot of mung beads and a pot of black eye beans, chopped up a 4 tomatoes, 4 eggs, 1 pepper, 1/4 cucumber, 1 onion, and a pack of sandwich chicken I got reduced to 10p. I used up an old curry ketchup I never liked by spicing it up with tobasco, and mixing with mayo and olive oil and seasoning. It's a delish pasta salad.
I've gotten 8 servings out of it so my OH and I are sorted until Friday!
It cost a grand total of 20p a serving and that's a pessimistic estimate, it could be cheaper, I've probably overestimated how much the beans work out at.

My Doctor told me that "1 out of 3 people who start smoking will eventually die." The other two apparently became immortal.
