On my fourth post of this blog, I decided to do some research on college spending. I wanted to know what the average college student spends on food per week. On the Washburn University meal plan, we are allowed around $75 per week on food, with a good meal ranging from $6 to $10 each. According to personalfinancewhiz.com, the average American spends $71.25 per week on food. So here at Washburn, we eat a little above the national average. But, of course we have to pay it back eventually. Although, I occasionally eat outside of Washburn to eat different kinds of food, or when the Student Union is closed. This past week I spent little to none of the money in my pocket. So I am minimizing my spending habits more and more. Hopefully I can stay strong throughout the rest of this year.

That's very interesting. I never would've thought that college students would spend about as much as a grown adult.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean! I mean, it's difficult to say no when my friends invite me to eat something.
