I spend a month doing this and I'm a millionaire." Charging character points for value is what makes that (nearly) impossible to abuse.
Which is only really a problem if the stuff created is valuable or is created in amounts that can be bulk-sold. "Create a few sandwiches" or even "create a feast" aren't things that would seriously unbalance an economy if it takes more fatigue or prep time than actually preparing the food, or the fatigue it costs to dig post holes for the same amount of money.

If the wealth is really an issue, you could have Signature Gear: one million Meals Ready to Eat, and Payload( +50% Cosmic (extradimensional), -X% Only MREs). Then you "summon" the MREs
