81% of DU Undergrads Prioritize Swiggy Budgeting Over PG Mess Dinners

It is 8:00 PM in North Campus, and after taking one look at the PG dinner menu, you immediately open your delivery app to check tonight's coupon codes.

We put this on Boomm and asked:

How do you handle evening meals during the week: sticking strictly to PG mess food or pooling funds with roommates for food delivery?

The results showed that 81% of students prefer setting aside a dedicated delivery allowance to balance home-style meals with group ordering.

What the comments said was more interesting…

Students shared their clever budget breakdowns for eating well without overspending.

"Splitting flat discounts with three roomies makes takeaway cheaper than cooking late at night, ngl."

"Cooking quick eggs or ramen during exam week saves thousands every month fr."

Navigating daily expenses across Greater Noida, Delhi, and Faridabad is part of learning to balance freedom with personal finance. Finding that ideal sweet spot makes living away from home much easier.

How do you split your monthly food allowance during busy college weeks?
