So long as "value for money" doesn't turn into "cheapest to be had" - they're not quite the same thing!!
An bear in mind a couple of old police wisdoms, so to speak.....
1. The police spend so much time worrying about what they spend, yet scarcely give a moments thought to what they waste!
2. Police are the same the world over - if they can't eat it, drink it or ride it, they'll break it!
