South Kensington - 1500£ enough to live on?

What do you eat ._. I cook every day and spend way more than that per week

Do you shop at tesco, sainsbury's or waitrose?

That seems reasonable but how much do you spend/week if it's more than £35? Is your meat/veg all organic? Also, do you buy ingredients/snacks daily or do you share what you buy between different days?

What do you eat ._. I cook every day and spend way more than that per week

I really enjoy cooking so I cook a variety of recipes from recipe books, online etc. I think the way I manage to get it cheaper is to plan the meals for the entire week and then do only one shop per week which helps to restrict what I buy, plus I try and plan meals where the same kind of ingredients are used so I don't waste anything, and then any leftovers from my dinners become my lunch for the next day

I cook proper meals every day and I tend to spend around £35 on food per week. Obviously this depends on what kind of food you want to make, meat is obviously more expensive, and whether you plan your meals well so that ingredients are shared between them.

EDIT: Do you know what I would have to pay, approximately, to eat out daily? I'm not sure how pricey things are in South Kensington. Not like fries and pizza but proper food if you know what I mean. Thanks in advance .

Anually of course. This money will only be used for food and occassionally for public transport. Is £1500 sufficient or do I need more, and if so, how much more?

EDIT: When I say food, I don't mean pot noodles and whatever else uni students with little care for their diet tend to eat. I mean proper meals...

No.

My son is at Imperial. He spends ~£1000 per term in addition to accommodation, eating too cheaply IMO. He does take the tube or bus sometimes, but often walks (he's in halls in Notting Hill).

I'd budget at least £1200 per term, i.e. £3600 per year, although you may need a little more.

According to the Imperial college website for living costs, food and transport comes to like £2800.

Food alone is £1950
