And finally- left over pizzas do not consitute a healthy nutritious breakfast.
Can't wait to annoy everyone at uni by telling them i'm allergic to milk. :S gonna have to budget for soya products and sunflower spread too ahaha.
If it can be frozen, freeze it.
Cooking in bulk is cheaper in the long run. Things like lasagne, casseroles, chili, soup... Freeze it in portions, and it'll last you for ages.
Don't feel you've got to make extravagant meals either. Here's my trademark student dinner that costs less than buying Ragu:1. Boil up some pasta2. Fry up some mince, get it brown, but not too well done3. Add some baked beans (doesn't matter how cheap)4. Add some pepper to taste5. Leave to simmer for a bit, dollop it all on top of your paster and bon apetit.Optional- I always chucked in a load of Worcester sauce and a dollop of good old fashioned English mustard. Has to be English. American is too weak and Dijon doesn't taste right in it. Dried herbs as well if you've got them.
On the subject of tinned stuff...Some supermarket value stuff is actually pretty nice, so always be ready to try basics and own-brand stuff where you would normally buy the fancy stuff. Save that for your lady friends
