“Recipes” for poor-ass students: 1
London is an expensive city. One of the most expensive on the planet. They tell you this in your “Welcome to Hell” packet at grad school orientation day. You think “Oh, I’ll just cook at home (dorm), pack lunches, and walk everywhere! No probs!” You are adept at lying to yourself, so you initially believe this.
You’ve got three weeks until your next loan installment arrives, and you make the TERRIBLE mistake of actually checking your bank account balance. The days of self-denial are over. YOU’RE FUCKING POOR.

2. Stop eating proper food.
Now the first option is just laughable, and obviously wayyyy too optimistic.
