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

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 жыл бұрын
Ahahahahhaha yes. She is. A business. Student.
@philippawood5047 2 жыл бұрын
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.

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...
