Rail travel can be quite expensive.Take a young person rail card, as you get good reductions.Whatever you are buying, always ask if there is a student reduction and always have your student card. Tesco supermarkets are good value for a quite good quality. Asda supermarkets have good deals.

Prioritising the most important needs for your studies were more important such as food, rent, fees and buy other things mostly second hand. Reduce the outings and spending on luxuries until you finish the studies. You also have got to work to suppliment your income but this need to be balanced with the pressure of school work
