Money Saving Tips
Managing on a limited budget can be difficult. Working out a budget can really help you keep track of your money. There are a few ideas:
- Cook with your housemates and split the cost of food- sharing food costs and cooking can save you money and effort!
- Cook in bulk- Cooking in bulk can work out cheaper. Freeze the extra food and defrost it when needed.
- Get your NUS Card- This card can get you discounts in Top Shop, Top Man and many other high street shops. To get your card, ask at the First floor reception in the Haigh Building.
- Shop around for discounts
- Get a Young Persons Railcard- If you are a student, regardless of your age, you are eligible to buy a Young Persons Railcard. They save you up to 1/3 on rail journeys, so if you travel lots they could save you money.
- Use the library
- Share books with classmates
- Be environmentally friendly- turn off lights and electrical appliances when you are not using them. Don't leave equipment on "stand-by".
