Having just started my fifth year of uni, it’s pretty fair to say I’ve learnt a great load of tips on where to save money.
I personally struggle with finances, but I am quite a money-savvy student. During my undergraduate degree, I rarely ever struggled financially but since starting my postgrad and no longer getting a loan to live off, I’ve had to tighten my belt a lot.
I’ve made mistakes with money and I’ve made some good choices too. From two new iPhones to drunken purchases of £22 takeaway pizza, it’s safe to say these incidents made me learn pretty quickly. But alas, here we go!

Get a job where you can get free food Right, sounds weird? Well, hear me out… jobs aren’t just a source of income, with the right people and right environments, it’s a chance to gain confidence and make friends. And as a waiter or waitress, often many businesses will give you a free meal on shift – perfect for saving money on meals for the week. And if you don’t get a free meal from your job? Bring a packed lunch!!! So so SO much cheaper than a meal deal several times a week! Good companies for free meals include Nando's and Pizza Express. Discount cards It’s not just middle-aged women who should have a purse full of cards… students, get ready. There are some really useful cards to have.
