10 . We all know your student loan will only go so far. So what can you do to save those pennies and eventually a pretty substantial amount in the long run? Here is some advice from L&S Editor Marianne Lampon.
| FOOD Buy the supermarket’s Own Brand products: When it comes to items such as cheese, milk, and more, the Own Brand products can be bought much cheaper but without lowering the quality. Coupons (优惠券), coupons, coupons: It’s really worth hitting the Internet for some extra coupons, especially for meals out with a big group of your classmates. Keep an eye on restaurants that offer a cheaper Set Menu or that do 2 for 1 deals on main courses. |
| STUDENT-ONLY OFFERS Fresher’s Fair: Say hello to free stationery, bottle openers and a bunch of things you never knew you needed. Freshers get involved! Student discount in stores and online: Showing your University ID card will save you at least 10% with a lot of online or offline businesses. As a result, you’ll feel slightly less guilty about buying those new pair of Nike’s. |
| FASHION The shift from summer to autumn can be a sad time, but it needn’t hurt your wallet! Accessories (配饰): Basically, wear your summer clothes with warm and comfortable accessories. How about those shorts? Just team them with a pair of tights and you’re good to go. Charity shops: The perfect way to stay on-trend and at a super affordable price. |
