The way I look at it is right after each reset and taking care of daily stuff like invasion tiles and burning your oil, you do your four wine/cheese missions first, then run the first four of each meat/baguette missions. Then you do tile five of either the meat/baguette line before going to bed (works for Americans, not sure how anyone else would time it). The next morning you do tile six of that line then go on about your day. When you sit down to game after the next day rolls over, take care of your dailies then do tile five of the remaining line, then after you get up the next morning finish tile six of the last line. Repair cost = zero. It's not even any more of a time commitment, it's just spread out over the two days of each event reset.

Now I will admit that the rewards do seem tighter this time. Even with only needing 200K for both event tanks instead of 225K...the macaroons seem to not be as plentiful as the campaign map currencies of other events. It could be that I'm not investing the same effort as I did in other events, such as not being strict about running lights in scouting for oil, and devoting a larger percentage of the oil I do have to PoC, but I just get the nagging feeling that I may have to purchase some event currency this time, even considering that I don't care about the exchange items this time (I already have ARL44, and I'm sure I'll get the new emblems sooner or later).
