We have several hotels and company canteens that sell you what is left of breakfast buffet or lunch meals.

You have to bring your own food containers and get it filled to the brim with whatever didn't go so well that day for a fraction of the price you would normally pay there.

Local tax office canteen saved us a lot of cooking ourselves that way :-)
