I usually do a £25 online food shop every few weeks which lasts a good while as I seem to go through food quite slowly.

And then I usually do a £8 or £15 shop every week mostly consisting of fruit/veg and breakfast stuff.

So yeah not much, then again I don't have very expensive tastes.

Between £10-20 a week depending. Often ends up around the middle.

Yeah I haven't really ate out at Uni apart from Christmas meals! I'd actually like to eat out a bit but I know money can be tight for a lot of my friends.

I get maximum student finance. Live in a student house £73 a week, 12 month contract, works out £3796 for the year. Still cheaper than halls even though it's a 12 month contract.

Very possible, it'd be pretty miserable and boring same repetitive food probably. I can just about get a good healthy and diverse diet on £10 not to difficultly. I'd imagine it would be much harder on £4.50

£85 a week, shouldn't come to £500 a month :unsure:

In student accommodation? Houses can be so much cheaper, ones round here you can get as cheap as £60 week including bills

£85 for an ensuite is actually pretty cheap, for halls anyway
