Not really, Paul. It won't take much time to prepare them, but ingredients will certainly be over a fiver. I quite like the idea for steering group/focus group meetings etc. Caterers charge £5 to £8 per head for similar sandwiches with some stale fruits and cheap juice. You may get some ready made onion bhajis or springrolls on top, if you are lucky. They may also stick some readymade cake slices in, if they are feeling generous. This platter idea is definitely cheaper than hiring high street catering services for meetings and conferences. I shall give them a try.

When myself my 6 sisters and brother lived in the same house and all went to school my parents would make weeks worth of sandwiches and freeze them in bags they would may a months worth - back in the days when they did monthly shops and buying in bulk.
They would get them out in the morning and by lunch they would have defrosted and were fine.

Marg =Stork Spread(500g) £1.00
ASDA Tuna & Sweetcorn Filler(60g) £0.40
ASDA Onions(By Weight)£0.76/kg = say 50p
ASDA Real Mayonnaise(500ml) £0.92

Hang on, though.
Where have you added the cost of the kitchen running and other hidden costs, hmm?
Take a fraction of your mortgage out for that 10 minutes of your sandwich making. You only need to take your kitchen into account, not the whole house. You will have to put the lights on in the kitchen as well so that you don't mess it up. You will also need heating to keep warm in the kitchen. You may even put the radio on to keep you entertained while making sandwiches.
Okay, won't take that long to make the sandwiches. But, but, but..........think about all sorts. E.g. you will have to go to town to get all the ingredients, which means driving there and parking your car. Add fuel and car parking as well. Add wear n' tear for ragging your car to the town for ingredients too. Then, add the cost of the platters and the cling film. Even cr@p quality foil platters are a quid each in Tesco. You can't buy cling film less than .59p even if it is Tesco Value one.
Now then, add the time you have wasted in running around for buying ingedients for these sandwiches to the time you spend on making them. Pay yourself at least a fiver to make them. Tot it up with the cost of the ingredients to your kitchen rental/mortgage, fuel, kitchen electric, gas, extras like cling film and platters etc.
Then, come back and re-discuss.
TT is on telly and Robbie is on stage. Sorry for spelling etc..

You do come across things like that in places like LIDL and ALDI. I once managed a group of foreign exchange German students on work placement. They used to eat some unusual foods for their lunch.

Who has the time to make sandwiches?!
For my kids, I make time. Work colleagues, bejams!
I read that fresh orange juice flavour is artificial doe the deoxygenation process leaving it entirely tasteless? I can quite image the artificial blueberry and thumbs up for admitting it !

I'd say the sandwich platter is pretty handy if you are throwing a kids party or something. Kids don't really give a monkeys what they taste like really, as they are there to have fun not to discuss whether the cheese or ham is nice.
I'm sure they don't taste that bad either as they would not sell them otherwise.
And know I'm not an Iceland rep, I actually work for Sainsbury's
