No self-respecting, money-saving student would be without this little lot!
Your NUS card, issued by your University, is designed to make your student money go further by entitling you to a world of discounts – including up to 20% off in high street stores and popular restaurants. Look out for similar cards too – a Yellow Scream Card will cost you just a £1 and get you discount food and drink in one of their trademark, student brand pubs or bars.
A SNAPFax, so-called because of its magnetic cover, is basically a book full of money-off vouchers and special-offer coupons for students. Costing between £2 and £3, you can order them online for all the discounts in your University town.
No really! Collecting any old change you might have in a piggy bank (or other suitable receptacle!) could really make a difference to your budget. Once you’ve been collecting for a while, take a trip to your nearest CoinStar machine (often available in supermarkets), which will count your money and issue you with a receipt (minus a small cut) to spend on shopping. That way you can turn old change you didn’t miss at the time into much-needed food and drink!
