Waitrose is one of the most expensive grocery stores !!! Marks and Spencer’s also shop in Lidl or Aldi !!! They have really good quality foods for WAYYYY cheaper

@CapturingSpain 3 года назад

yes! Aldi or Lidl :) but Asda also is fine, if I remember correctly

@mixmo437 3 года назад

@@CapturingSpain yes ASDA, tesco and Sainsburys are more middle tier, M&S and waitrose are upper tier and Lidl and Aldi are lower teir in terms of pricing I'd say

@spaceboyrust 3 года назад

The quality is not comparable there is a big difference unless you are going for things like meat,milk,veggies etc. But pre made foods and breads etc are a lot nicer.

It's great to see her calculate and compare money with her time/work. She may have spent £13 on a takeway because she wanted to spend an hour of cooking on work instead. But that one hour of work is gonna make her more money than £13. You can tell she's a business student.

@macerly 3 года назад

Ahahahahhaha yes. She is. A business. Student.

@philippawood5047 3 года назад

A different perspective is she just *wanted* a takeaway, she didn't want to wake up 10 minutes earlier 6 days a week which would have given her the time to get her work done and then have an hour to meal prep for a few days. But she didn't because she doesn't need to pinch her pennies. Good for her but we just need to remind ourselves that what we see on YT/social media is not the only way of doing things.

for anyone wanting to move to London you do not need to be living somewhere that costs 1110 pounds a month. you can get lovely places just outside of central for 600-800 pm xxx

@rohnickamiriama1361 3 года назад

If you shopped at lidl, aldi, asda or pretty much any other shop than waitrose, you'd probably save a lot more on food. Also getting a monthly or weekly oyster could be cheaper

@macerly 3 года назад

Hehe I legit take the tube once every week, so I don’t think I would save anything!

@EvaMazu 3 года назад

I studied in the UK as well, but I chose a smaller city(still a big city) than London shopped in Lidl and spent way less. So if you are on the budget or aren't making as much money, and still want to study abroad you absolutely can!

@MrMeena789 3 года назад

Honestly if you are fruggle enough, London is a lot cheaper than most city’s. Your main and biggest game changing expense will be accommodation.

Your total set expenses are expensive but translate to $409.52 USD! I'm not sure why I was expecting it to be more, but that might be because rent in big cities in USA is like $700-1000/month

Unreal seeing the cost of living in London, compared to where I am further north. Although I am sure shopping at Waitrose doesn’t help 😅 How does it compare with Oslo, out of interest? Also… do we have to spot Maddie’s word of the week? 🥖

@heleneespetalen 3 года назад

Groceries in Oslo are quite expensive

@orangefruit12 3 года назад

i honestly feel so sorry for people, especially college students who have to be independent and have limited monthly allowances, who live in 1st world countries because almost everything is so expensive. Here in my country you can buy lots of meat, fruits, and vegetables for only 30 pounds and that is already good for 2 weeks if you are living alone. And you can also find a nice and neat rental room for only 60 pounds...
