FOOD TraVEL oFFErs BANKS JOBS


Don’t go food shopping when you’re hungry and don’t be tricked into every 3 for 2 deal on offer and end up with a cupboard full on unopened tins of beans. As a student you are in no position to snub value or supermarket own brands so make the most of them. Look into the possibility of a reward or club card, these become really valuable for the weekly shop.


Know your bus prices. Many buses across the country will not offer change and you don’t want to be forced to give the driver that extra 20p or keep the whole bus waiting as your friends try to fi nd your fare between them. Make sure you sign up for a young Person’s railcard at the beginning of term, for £30 and then 33% off all rail journeys you can’t go wrong.


Keep an eye out for deals and offers that are exclusive to students, why not make the most of these opportunities while you still can? Many places will offer student nights several times a week with competitive prices. Consider websites such as studentbeans.com that fi nd all the best offers available to students – from half price pizza from the chance to win an iPad.


starting a student account is defi nitely something to consider, with many offering incentives such as free rail cards when you sign up. student accounts could give you the benefi t of a safety net in the form of a free overdraft which may be useful one day. Why you’re there why not set up a savings account? By putting aside a small amount of money a month you’ll have a good sum of money at the time of term as a contingency, for a deposit for a house or just to spend in the summer sales.


Depending on your timetable getting a job is defi nitely an option to consider, with 50% of students deciding to do so. There will be hundreds of jobs available on campus at the SU, from volunteering for psychology experiments to pulling pints in the su bar, so look out for these for fl exible employment close to home. Alternatively, step outside the bubble and look to the local towns where there’ll be even more employers seeking students like you.
