Affordability, what does it look like?

Ok so having played hockey for the first time last night and grabbing a bite to eat from the SU cafe at lunch today, it got me thinking about affordability of provisions available to students.

To play hockey at Brighton it costs £20 for your sports fed card (covers insurance) and then a further £3 a week for match fees. When we compare this with Sussex where the price is £50 and then match fees on top.

The other thing I mentioned was my lunch, I got 6 chicken nuggets for £2.50, I then decided to check out the sainsbury's website and saw that you can get 40 nuggets for £3.

Now I realise these are small scale when looking at affordability, especially when compared to house prices or in the next few years the cost of higher education.

I would be very interested to hear different people's views on what affordability means to other people?
