Well, I guess you can do that so long as its not directed at anyone specific. That is what will doom you. Direct it at the whole group. Still, itll be less drama and hard feelings and shitty atmosphere if you don't blast them all. I mean, im all for telling people to fuck off, but you gotta live with these assholes. Try the nice route first and if that doesnt work just get your revenge by eating their food.

Fridge in your room is your only answer.

I'm pretty sure one guy buys very little food and just sponges off us all... but then again, he does occasionally buy some really nice looking olives.
I had one in my student halls first year, it was sweet as fuck. Only problem back then was getting your frozen stuff stolen, and that was a flat of 15 people who rarely talked to each other, so it happened quite a lot.
Poop in that guy's bed then

There have been way worse things happening in that bed than pooping.
Plain though, the flavored tofu is pretty great.
This fills me with sadness
I partied with these people and they were my friends from elementary school. It didn't get in the way of our friendship but when I confronted them I had that disappointing father look on my face and told them that if they wanted to eat my food that they should ask.
Eventually, I just moved my food into my closet and mini fridge. After a while I would eat their shit. First it would be breakfast foods like bacon, butter, cheese, milk, etc. Then I moved onto the 7up and drpib. Then I graduated to mooching off their alcohol and wine.
Wait--you explicitly ask who is eating your food and no one comes forward?
When rooming with dip shits this is the best response.

I'm friendly with 4/5 of them, and tolerate the 5th pretty well to this point, so it'd be a shame to rant at them over a bit of bread and cheese. That said, I can't really afford to be their cheesy bread benefactor.
I think I shall have to sink to their level to some degree, maybe when I know who's actually the culprit. If it's the guy I think it is though, he buys very little commodities (cheese, eggs, bread), so fuck knows what I'll do. Drink all his protein shakes and get super hench I guess :\

Eat their food. Eye for an eye.

Feed them gluten free fudge cookies.
Mini-fridge + keeping non-refrigerated goods in your closet sounds like the best thing you can do. And once you find out who was eating your food, eat theirs.

Do your roomates smoke weed? If so, there is no hope.

Make plans to obtain new living situation if possible.
Can't make brats grow up and respect someone else's property.
Best to find people that are grown enough to respect someone elses property.

Hahaha do they smoke weed? Our house is a fucking hotbox.
Not really an option, in my final year of Uni + 70% of the time they're pretty good people.
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling twenty-two
Everything's gonna be alright
If you don't drink my fucking sprite

Just start smoking weed with them. Then you won't give a fuck. Or less of one.
If you've asked people not to eat your food, and they still do, and won't admit to it, then they're not friends, nor are they good people. That's how I see it. Friends don't do things like that to friends.
There shouldn't have to be talk in the first place. Unless an agreement was already reached, you don't touch food you didn't buy. What is there not to understand about that?

Have you considered rat poison?
Hell no. Been living with housemates for a year now, and as far as I know nobody has stolen food or anything else. What is the logic behind that? Its not like you wont notice.
Skip the foreplay and go right to penetration? Interest...piqued.
You might have to be that guy. Call them all out. The people who aren't eating your food should be able to understand how frustrated you are over the whole situation. Are you all friendly enough with each other to actually talk it out? Because if you are, that will be much easier than just flipping out on them. Unless you figure out who it is, you going to have to direct it to all of them.

One of my housemates' nuggets of knowledge;
"That cheese would have gotten me through until next week, now it'll last a few days at bst"
"... Yeah but, do you really need all that cheese? That's a big block of cheese"

Keep all non perishable food in your own room.
Order lots of takeaway.

I would totally go ahead with the laxative plan, but I fear when my SO stays round I'll completely forget and get my ass dumped whilst she dies on the toilet.
Trust me, it's not your ass that will be doing the dumping.

Poison every tenth item, the problem should then sort it self out.
If you have already asked him to stop and he didn't then maybe it is time to lock him out .My coworkers keep stealing my lunch so I got one of theses. Only do this as a last resort

Wow, what a dick. Just stop buying altogether and start eating all their stuff.

Don't eat food, live off water and sunshine.

Yeah, it may be passive aggressive to the max but if you've asked them to stop and they just aren't this is probably an acceptable option.
Put a note on the fridge or email all of them:
"To the person who refuses to admit you're eating my food,
I have decided to stop playing nice. From now on, one item of food that you do not own in the fridge will be laced with one of the following:
- Something you're allergic to
- Extreme laxatives
- Bodily fluids (including but not limited to urine, feces, saliva, and sperm)
- Something you will regret eating after I put a picture of where it had been before on the fridge after you eat it
If any of you that are not eating my food are uncomfortable with knowing this is in the communal fridge and know who has been eating my food then feel free to confront them. Otherwise, continue smoking your weed and make sure to only eat what you buy."
On a more serious note, I would suggest cutting your budget even more so and eating things that don't need to be refrigerated or frozen, and if it is frozen/frigerated make it something you can eat day of buying it. Will require multiple trips to the store and a time crunch and mostly drinking water from tap, but hey- at least it's better than nothing.
