Introduction<\/b><\/p>\n
With the rapid growth of online food delivery platforms, eating habits among students living away from home have changed significantly. Students who migrate to Mumbai from other cities and live in hostels, paying guest (PG) accommodations, or rented houses often rely on food delivery apps due to convenience, time constraints, and limited cooking facilities. While these platforms provide ease of access, they may also influence spending behaviour and savings patterns.<\/p>\n
This study aims to analyse whether online food delivery usage has a significant impact on food-related spending and savings among students living outside Mumbai.<\/p>\n

This indicates that students are\u00a0close to neutral<\/b>\u00a0regarding increased spending due to food delivery apps. While some respondents agree that food delivery increases their spending, the overall perception is not strong enough to conclude a significant impact.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Overall Findings<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n The study concludes that online food delivery apps have a noticeable but\u00a0not statistically significant<\/b>\u00a0impact on the spending behaviour of students living outside Mumbai in hostels, PGs, or rented accommodations. Although convenience and promotional offers encourage frequent ordering, students appear to maintain a balance between spending and savings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n This suggests that students are becoming more financially aware and selectively using food delivery services rather than relying on them excessively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kiran Srinivas, Kushi Chikane, Stuti Balit\u00a0 \u00a0 Introduction With the rapid growth of online food delivery platforms, eating habits among students living away from home have changed significantly.

According to Hamari et al. (2016), digital convenience services significantly influence consumer behaviour, often encouraging impulsive spending due to ease of access and promotional offers. This behaviour is especially prevalent among young consumers such as students.<\/p>\n
A study by Agarwal and Gupta (2020) found that students living away from home tend to spend more on food delivery services due to lifestyle constraints, peer influence, and discount-driven consumption, which can negatively affect their ability to save.<\/p>\n\n
