Money Saving Tips

Sainsbury’s:
This is pretty simple. Your parents put money on this say, £100 and then you go spend it on anything at Sainsburys.

Asda:
Exactly the same as the Sainsburys one but they have a card too so they can put the money on their card and you’ll get it.

Studentbeans:
They give you 20 top student deals and money savers every week. They’re from everything to anything. It’s a good idea and there are some brilliant saves.

Nectar card:
You collect points of your everyday shopping whether it’s on a treat, food, accessories, or clothes, you collect points and these build up to money where you can spend it on anything like, cinema, theme parks, Eurostar, homebase and eating out.

Quidco:
You buy something, and get cash back for it. There’s also voucher for the hundreds of different retailers.

Boots Advantage card:
When you buy anything in store, you get points for them. The points then become money that you can use on anything else in store. Yes please!

Budget:
Take all of your receipts and add them up to see how much you’re spending a week/month. This is help you figure out what you spend too much on.

Group Meals:
For group meals, if you want to, go to a large wholesaler shop like Bookers, Costco as it will mean literally pounds for you all to eat a good meal. Spaghetti might end up costing you about £1.20
