Weekly/monthly allowance...

What are people getting each week month from their parents for food and drink please?

Assumptions:-

1) Self-catered
2) City uni (Leeds/Sheffield/Manchester/Birmingham etc)
3) Very social/not a cook (clubs/beers/takeaways
4) Not working to supplement
5) Not accommodation; just living allowance

Thanks!

200 quid per month so 50 per week but i cook and meal prep a lot - defo learn how to cook basic easy foods it'll make your life so much easier. i usually shop at aldi/lidl at about £120 per month for cooking stuff and the rest i use for takeaways/nights out or just snacks

OP

Cool. Thanks!

Hey there @jimmybonds007 !
In first year I started off with £200 a month for food, drink and laundry. Since food prices have been rising, my allowance has gone up to £250 in second year but that's because I'm still paying for my washing. When I stop doing this in third year, my allowance will go back down to £220 a month. I do sometimes have money left over during the month but I save it for emergency money. I am a cook and I'm really social but I also have a part-time job which contributes towards social things and then I use the allowance from my parents on things like food and toiletries.

Hope this helped!
