Lets face it. We are students. We cannot afford heaps. So here are some cheap comfort foods.
1) Soup. Buy some pumpkin and sour cream and milk.
"The best thing is that is costs less than a violet rectangle of polypropylene polymer to brown slices of onion in a pot, add half a kilo or so of cubed pumpkin, and simmer over low heat with a couple of bowls of water. Whizz the whole concoction in a blender once its cooked and cooled down sufficiently to handle, season to taste, and eat!" (taken from Unisquare.me https://www.unisquare.me/coffeetable/article/291 - 20/7/2012). It costs about $12 altogether to make a big pot of soup.
2) Chocolate- You can buy blocks in store for $3 to $6 depending on the size. And sometimes they will have a two for one promotion
3) Curry for those that love spicy- You can make big pots of it at home.
4) Apple pie- You can buy them in packs at the supermarket for about $8. But its better to make and bake your own if you can. A bag of apples during winter costs about $5 and then puff pastry costs about $4. You can make lots of stuff with puff pastry.
5) Hotpot- Grab your friends and make it a hotpot night for about $20 per person. Buy lots and lots of ingredients in bulk at the supermarket and Asian shops and then have heaps of leftovers for the days afterwards
6) Mulled wine if you love drinking. But if you don't leave it
7) Fondue- invite friends over, buy a cheap block of cooking chocolate, two or three bananas, a bag of marshellows and a loaf of banana bread it should be about $20 altogether and that's not including the fondue machine
