£200 on groceries is a lot for one person, you could cut that back and put the extra to paying off your debt
Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endQuidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur0 -

Check out the 'Old Style Moneysaving' board for some great tips and advice - there's even a thread on how to eat for £7 a week, which may be a bit drastic
, I'm not suggesting you try it but there's plenty of other advice that might help
