Student Life! (need some money saving tips...fast!)

Hi there,

I am currently a student at university and I am in desperate need of advice on how to save money. I am currently living with 4 other housemates and there are days when things do really get tight when it comes to money.

As a group we tend to eat out alot as we are normally to busy with studies to get in the kitchen and start cooking. As a group we are trying to find more ways of saving money, currently we have come up with:

- no more eating out
- buying raw materials (washing powder, washing liquid, staple foods) that do not cost so much money
- Decrease the usage of electricity (use the computers at the university library)

I was wondering if anymore forum members had any more money saving tips that could help us out?

Thanks

P.

Hello Paul

There are a couple of good tips there I always found that shopping in bulk is a great saver too initial shop seems expensive but saves in long run as you dont need to keep buying items through the month. eg, a big box of washing powder can last 2-3 months. Also buying at supermarkets rather than local shops, this again can save quite a bit.
