When studying in the UK, eating should be a big expense in daily life, but you really can't save too much on eating. So how can we save on eating and eat well at the same time? Yes, I have summarized some tips for you. Come here if you need them.

In Britain, cooking by yourself is not expensive.

English food can be said to have no special features. The famous restaurants are all French and Italian dishes, or handmade hamburgers. If you eat mainly outside, the price will definitely be high and the food is not delicious. If you eat a formal western food in a restaurant, the cost per person is 15-41 pounds, and if you eat fast food, it is 5-11 pounds per person. It's much more cost-effective to cook by yourself. 151-311 pounds a month is enough for one person.

Mr. and Mrs. Qian Zhongshu did it themselves when they were studying in Britain. It is said that Qian Zhongshu cooked breakfast for the first time. He cooked "eggs for five minutes", baked bread, heated milk and made thick and fragrant black tea. Seeing that he is clumsy at ordinary times, he actually did a good job this time! Qian Zhongshu was praised, of course, and he was very happy. Since then, Zhong Shu has been responsible for making their breakfast, and this tradition has continued into the old age.

Asda, Morrisons, Tesco, Sainsbury and Mark Spencer are popular in Britain, and these large supermarkets can buy rich foods. Supermarkets also often do promotional activities, such as buying one get one free, buying three get two free and so on. A liter of fresh milk costs only 1 pounds, and bread costs about 1 pounds. A box of ribs costs 2.5 pounds, and chocolate and potato chips do not exceed 3 pounds, and discounts are often made.

Asda

1999 was acquired by the world retail giant Wal-Mart. ASDA supermarkets are generally located in the suburbs, and are also equipped with large parking lots and gas stations. The price is slightly cheaper than Tesco and Sainsbury's. ASDA has its own clothing department' George', and the clothes here are also cheaper in staple goods.

Morrisons

Large supermarkets are located in the suburbs, and the prices are cheaper. For China people, Morrisons can buy some things we like, such as pig's trotters, pig's hearts, pig's kidneys and pig's trotters. A major feature of Morrisons is the rush to buy food half an hour before closing every day. The supermarket will discount the food due on the same day, from 51%off to 75%off, and you can even buy a 5P box of sheep hearts.

Tesco

is called Tesco in China, which is the largest retail chain in Britain and one of the three largest retail chains in the world. Tesco Extra is generally located in the suburbs, equipped with a large parking lot and gas station, which has a complete range, basically covering all the necessities of life, and the price is close to the people and the quality is good. In addition, there are Tesco Metro and Tesco Express, which are distributed in major cities, towns and communities in the UK, making it extremely convenient.

It is worth mentioning that three supermarkets, Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury, provide online shopping services. You can buy goods (including fresh food, drinks, alcohol, etc.) in the online supermarket, and then book them for home delivery. The courier fee is only 2-5 pounds, which is much more convenient than bringing a bunch of things back from the supermarket yourself.

Sainsbury

is the oldest large-scale food retail chain in Britain with a history of nearly 151 years. It is widely distributed in Britain. Apart from large supermarkets, there are Sainsbury's Central and Sainsbury's Local, which are very convenient. Meat products, in particular, are particularly fresh and cost-effective.

Wing Yee Hang

Wing Yee Hang is the largest supermarket chain in China, headquartered in Birmingham, with one in the north and one in the south of London, which mainly sells food from China and Southeast Asia. From daily necessities to pots and pans, this is the world of China people, and you can also buy fresh vegetables flown in from China. There is generally a Cantonese-style tea restaurant nearby, and you can enjoy beautiful morning tea every time you go.

There are also many take-away shops run by China people in Britain, and a box of fried rice or fried noodles costs about 5 pounds. In big cities in Britain, there are supermarkets run by China people, which contain all kinds of spices and dry goods.
