I'm saving a decent amount per month from not commuting to uni and also all the little bits I spend there on coffees etc, same with driving lessons

in the long run the lockdown is probably causing you more money.
You have payed for lessons in a classroom and you are either not getting those lessons at all, or are receiving a sub standard web tutorial instead.
I somehow have over £2k spare in my account, so although I can't think what the hell I'd have spent that money on, I guess I fritter more than I think.
All those Nandos I've avoided, saving my bank balance being destroyed 
However, I'm now shopping at much more expensive supermarkets than I used to due to the virus.
So swings and roundabouts innit?

Yes until I started buying **** from google play games out of boredom.

April bank statement had the fewest outgoing entries on in since like 2013.

Lost my easter holiday job which would have netted me £1200, got furlough payment because I've been there a while but was only £200 since they calculated my average hrs over the entire past year and not just the weeks I worked 
But I've probably saved maybe £600-800 if I have to stay at home until the end of May. So overall I'm probably just breaking even from my losses tbh :/

Very true
6 weeks not having to commute = £810 saved
Gym membership freeze & partial refund for March = £190 saved
Sold back some of my holiday leave as unable to use = around £500
That's £1.5k before even thinking about anything else.
I know i'm one of the lucky ones, but having been made redundant twice by the age of 25, I think i'm due a bit of luck tbh.

Yes.
Used to eat out like twice per week, now zero, = like £50pw
Used to drive into the hills sometimes, now can't, = like £5pw
Gym membership on hold = £5pw
Got a couple free lunches out of it = +£10
Refund on car insurance = £25.
Wife decided to return to work for 2.5 months rather than taking some time off = +£6,000
So yeah quite a lot!
