Which surprises me even more, given your location.
Depends where in the UK really. I'd never afford to live in London. I live in a village about a 45 minute walk away from a small town.
This apartment came with a bathroom and a kitchen sink and some kitchen cupboards. Completely unfurnished besides that and damage to the apartment from the previous resident which I have had to have the landlord fix (and there's still something that needs fixing that the previous resident covered up to make it look like it wasn't damaged).
Literally all my money goes on rent, electricity and internet (I can't cope without the internet). I say "literally" meaning the rest is food. And like the cheapest food I can buy. I live off 90 pence microwavable meals.
I'm often told by many people buying in bulk would be cheaper, but just one ingredient is more expensive than the whole cheap microwavable meal... and even if I could buy enough bulk ingredients to make it slightly less cheaper: The food would go out of date when I'd barely consumed any of it. So that wastefulness would obviously be very expensive.
And when it comes to frozen foods that last... I am severely limited by what I can buy because I don't have an oven. I also don't know how to cook and only know how to microwave things that give me the microwavable instructions on the packet.
