At uni, for me travel is free by bus because I got a free bus pass with my accommodation. It pays for me to get to uni, work, town, everywhere pretty much. Next year though I'm in a house so I'll be buying a pass which will probably be between £150-£200 for the year (hopefully). Once or twice I've gotten an Uber like when going home for Christmas with heavy suitcases, it's easier in a car than on a bus. Otherwise I walk everywhere. Taking the train home costs £40 both ways with a railcard. I've only done this twice so far, and won't be doing it again for the rest of the academic year.
Food - I've realised I spend more than I think on food. I make everything from scratch pretty much thinking it was cheaper, turns out making a new meal every day or every other day isn't as cheap as I'd like, so I'll be cutting back on that. I buy everything own-brand, except Nutella because that's amazing. It's so much cheaper buying own-brand and I have honestly noticed no difference with the majority of foods.
Books - I have bought a few textbooks this year, around £20-£30 each because I sometimes find it easier to have a book in front of me instead of flicking between computer tabs when doing work. However my uni has almost everything online so it wasn't necessary for me to buy them, just a personal preference.
Societies - my uni has crap societies. Unless you're religious or political, there's nothing for you. So I've not joined any and therefore my cost is zero.
Toiletries - hardly anything. I brought a lot of stuff from home and as those things are gradually running out, I just replace with own brand things. Today for example I bought a big bottle of shower gel from Lidl for 33p. Will be just as good as a branded one. My shampoo cost something like 50p from Asda too. I buy own-brand make-up wipes too. Make-up itself is expensive, however I don't wear it everyday. I only really wear a full face when I go to work, and occasionally once or twice in the week, so I only have to buy make-up every few months so it isn't too expensive.
Clothes - I have bought a few pieces of clothing, but really not many. I keep thinking the more I buy, the more I have to load in the car to take back with me. That stops me buying unnecessary clothes.
Takeaways - never had one whilst at uni. I've only eaten out once, and that was for my birthday back in November. Even then it was only Nandos so not expensive.
Going out - I don't go out. I've never been out (except for my birthday meal). I'm not a club person and I'm not a big drinker, therefore I save heaps of money.
My phone is £24 a month which is decent. I pay for my TV license too but tbh I can't remember how much that is off the top of my head.
I'm also paying for flights to see my boyfriend twice a year, so that takes up a fair chunk (he pays half which makes it easier). I'm pretty lucky that I get the maximum loan and I have a job too so I'm able to do that.
I would definitely advise 100% buying own-brand products. Shampoo, loo roll, toothpaste, pasta sauces, ketchup, etc. It is way cheaper and easier to stick to a budget.
