We used to have a spread sheet that was updated on a semi regular basis on which building had the
best feeds, cheapest cafes and of course the Golden Egg of tradies, the Subsidised Canteen!!!!!

We used to look after a building that had a smorgas board for breakfast every day, my first trip
there was a delight. Had Eggs, steak, sausages, beans, chips toast the works. Grand total was $4.80.
The lady said that it had cost me enough already for that much so I could have a coffee for free,
she needs to get out more, just a coffee in ajoint 1/2 k down the road was $3.50 on its own at that
stage.

As far as I know they still have that canteen there but most tradies are now band due to abuse of
the system. (Blokes ruined it by turning up just for a feed and free carpark spot while not doing
any work in the place. Bastards)

in 2005 I was at Jandowie(the place the council had to sell blocks of
land for $1 to get people to move there) and the only takeaway(and only
1 of about 7 stores that actually were)open was selling just a plain
hamburger for $9.75

I paid for my $3.90 can of coke and left

Chester's Takeaway at East Nowra shops does a traditional works burger for
around seven bucks & it's very nice too. Probably the best value sit down
one around here is the Postman's Restaurant Nowra at lunchtime - $12.00
and really good. A couple of the pubs do cheaper or same price with a free
schooner, bu the burgers just aren't as nice! Cheers
