Student debt and payday loans

Believe or not, some would have gone for "arrangement" instead of loans. According to one British newspaper, "some 58,000 students purportedly signed up" the arrangement service.

Not necessarily ( eating cheap and healthy). It would mean eating organic - have you checked prices of organic veg and fruit? Let alone meat. Or not farmed fish apart from mackerel. Organic chicken- 3 times more expensive at least. Not eating dairy products- have you seen prices of organic dairy alternatives (or even organic dairy)? Many would be vegand - fats and protein need to be obtained from somewhere- you do realise nuts and seeds are expensive. Avocado and quinoa are so well known because they are excellent dense in calories and fibre and protein products so needed when one can not eat most of what we usually eat ( vegans).

Agreed also cheap cuts of meat are often have much better flavour and are often cooked as stews with tendency to put lots of vegetables in.  Ox cheek being an obvious choice as it is soooooo tasty.  Depth of flavour is significantly better than your grossly over priced steaks. Not much fat on it what is is easily removed and unnecessary. 
As an aside a tv program, where experts were consulted it turns out so called super foods don't work. Antioxidants are rejected after a couple of minutes in the bloodstream. The body only accept a set amount increasing the amount you eat has no benefit.  They went on to say a fried breakfast was better for you than cereal (reference obesity) as you are much less likely to snack on sh**e. They even said it outweighed the very small increase in the likelihood of getting cancer from eating red meat. 

I used to do this when I lived in Manchester.
Buy one get one free.  Original price £2. Computers set up £2 + £2 - £2 = £2
Reduced to 50p, 50p + 50p -£2 = -£1
Had to always make sure I finished with a positive figure otherwise the manager would be called. They sorted it out eventually. 
Still doing things with supermarkets deliverys. Waitrose are stupidest as in a £80 refund on a £80 delivery and a couple of refunds greater than the price of the goods! 

Yes it sometimes works with £2 of if you buy 3 @£4.. they get reduced to 40p each you get back 80p more than you spend. You just need to spend the 80p as tills don’t like giving money back.

It has has to be money off not just 3 for £10 that doesn’t work and only works at a few places others exclude reduced from offers.

It also works with vouchers that give a fixed amount even if item reduced.

Essential items to live cheaply are Freezer , Food slicer to get plenty of meals from reduced joints, vacuum sealer that uses ordinary cheap bags.  Vacuum sealed and refrigerated veg and fruit last 1-2 weeks rather than days so that cheap lettuce at 5p will last till it is used. Proper vacuum bags can be washed and reused. Wrap food in cling film and saves contact with bag. 

Not that that good for the use less plastic brigade but 1 litre of Acetone will dissolve a years worth of plastic and can then be used as a plastic protective coating without going to landfill or incineration.

You can also buy an ozone generator to sterilise fruit and veg . One from China for use with CPAP machines can be easily adapted to attach to a box . You would also be regenerating the ozone layer. They cost <£25. . For peace of mind use battery model with box placed outside. You can also get dedicated water based fruit/veg hand sanitiser models but they cost more.

The point is buy bulk when cheap and preserve for long time.
