Bread is really expensive- try making your own, it's actually really easy. I started when I was last a student, 1lb of flour per load, that's pretty much 3 loaves from one bag of flour, £1.20 for a cheapish- bag of bread flour and a few pence for yeast and salt and sugar, win!
Plus homemade bread is much more filling than paper-thin chemical-rich supermarket bread, so fewer slices will fill you up.
And if you make several loaves at one go and freeze a couple this reduces your electricity bill from having the oven on for 45 mins, plus increases the efficiency of your freezer by filling it up.
Only 2 minor drawbacks- need for loaf tins (ask your neighbours?) and the time the process takes- figure in 5 hours from start to finish. 10 mins to assemble, then leave for 100 mins to prove. Then another 10 mins to knock it back and put in tins, then another 100 mins to prove again, then 50 mins to bake.
