Food cost per week

How much do current students spend per week on food? I have a budget of £25 is this enough?

I'd say it depends on the city you live in, of course.
When I did my BA, I'd spend about £25-30ish every couple of weeks; otherwise it'd be £10-15 ish. I generally cooked a lot of meals that would feed 3-4 people and freeze some portions so it'd last for a while, hence why some weeks were cheaper than others as I'd only need to get fresh stuff.

Hope this helps a little!

Yeah I was planning on doing that, don't know how much room would be available in a freezer in university halls though 😂

In general you probably will have on drawer. I shared with 10 people, we had two fridgefreezers with 5 shelves in each. However, a number of people don't use their freezer space (or much of it) so you can always overflow into their draw. Sometimes though I would eat the same meal for a number of days street but mix it up a little (I do sweet potato and bean tacos but can switch out the tortilla for some quinoa or another carb substance).
I spent between 60-100 a month (varied each month depending what I ate and how often I would buy unnecessary food). In general about 80 pound

Yeah that's the only issue is sometimes the freezer was a little small! I think I was lucky - I only lived in flats that had four people max so didn't really have much of an issue.

Yeah I'll probably eat the same chickpea curry recipe quite often 😂 thats good, I'm in the cheap accommodation in Bath and I still only have an average of £25 a week, but I'll mainly only be using recipes with legumes and such anyway to try bring the cost down as much as possible
