A student grocery list doesn't need to be clever, it needs to be short: five or six ingredients that repeat across the week, cheap enough that one bad week doesn't blow the whole budget, and simple enough to actually cook in a shared kitchen with two pans and one working hob. Nobody needs a restaurant-worthy idea for a Tuesday between lectures.
There's no dedicated "student" mode here (that would just be the budget setting with extra branding), but the same free tools do the job: set a low budget, keep your targets modest, and the basket leans on the staples that stretch furthest — oats, rice, eggs, frozen veg, tinned beans, whole chicken — while typical prices show roughly what it'll cost before you're at the till weighing up own-brand against name-brand. Prioritise the few ingredients you'll actually eat and avoid the ones you won't, and the list stays short enough to read off a phone screen in the queue. Just try it — set the budget low and see what it builds.
