Since you are a university student, make use of the library and reserve a copy of grub on a grant and more grub on less grant by Cas Clarke. The latter book has a section with budget meals which would allow you to eat very well on very little money.

Quorn mince is a quiid in Icelands and tescos at the mo, with this we do all the usual, chili, spag bol, lasagne etc.

If you can get hold of dry soya mince it is much more economical than quorn or "wet" mince, so you are not paying for the water!

Also, re. fish: Mr S basics has a very nice smoked pollack (ready packed), if you cook that you would not even know that it is not haddock. Turn it into fishcakes and a packet costing an average of £1.50 will make 2 meals for 2, stretched by potatoes, onions and flour.

Another cheap fish is mackerel in tomato sauce, a tin makes easily 2 toppings for fish on toast (cheap lunch, loads of Omega oils and all that good tomato sauce is a source of lycopene which is a great antioxidant - us OSers need to look after our health AND beauty!).

Good luck!

EDITED to say: just read that you are buying mozzarella - for bakes the ready grated stuff is more economical than buying the wet balls, same as for the mince, you are paying for water. Wet mozzarella, the ball type in brine, is only worth buying for salad, one ball with tomatoes and (home-grown, it is a weed and it grows like wildfire) rocket makes a nice second course meal for two accompanied by crusty bread (first course, potato and onion soup with a pinch of paprika - dirt cheap and gorgeous!).
