Your student finance instalment comes in, and somehow you\u2019ve got to pay for your grocery shopping, rent, and those crucial nights out. Where do you even begin? Here are some of my handy tips to help you enjoy your time at York without breaking the bank\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Nights out <\/b>&#8211; <b>or in!<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, you\u2019ve arrived at university, and you can\u2019t wait to let your hair down at one of the city\u2019s many clubs and bars. Happy hours and student discounts are your best friends here &#8211; even opt for a mocktail if you want to save a few extra pounds. Of course, your chain pubs such as Wetherspoons will have their 2-for-1 pitchers, but York is famed for its independent businesses, and many smaller bars offer great discounts for students too. Don\u2019t forget your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/student-life\/food\/\">student-run bars<\/a> as well! Based in Derwent, Courtyard is famed for their delicious range of snacks and drinks, and Glasshouse on Campus East hosts regular karaoke nights.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, you can have just as much fun staying in as going out. Invest in some board games and a pack of cards, grab some friends for a movie night, and order in a takeaway (or shove a pizza in the oven!). During my first year of university, board-game nights were a great way of getting to know people. I made a lot of close friends through games of UNO and Monopoly without having to pay for a single round of drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/de257fcb-fb88-45ba-b27c-df068c17998c10.jpeg\" alt=\"Managing your money - cocktails on a night out\" class=\"wp-image-8996\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>The weekly food shop<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This applies more to second and third years and to those in non-catered accommodation, but the weekly food shop can be a drain on the bank balance if you don\u2019t prepare in advance. Plan your meals for the week and draw up a list of exactly what you need: as a final-year student living off campus, my weekly shop comes to between \u00a320-25. Make use of supermarket club cards: they\u2019re free to pick up, and as well as racking up points each time you shop (which translates into money off at the checkout), you can often get discounts on certain products. This sticky chilli and garlic chicken I made works out at less than \u00a32 a portion, and it took less than half an hour to whip up in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/img_3503.jpeg?resize=777%2C960\" alt=\"Managing your money - a curry with rice\" class=\"wp-image-8997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/img_3503.jpeg?w=777&amp;ssl=1 777w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/img_3503.jpeg?resize=243%2C300&amp;ssl=1 243w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/img_3503.jpeg?resize=829%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 829w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/img_3503.jpeg?resize=768%2C949&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The freezer is your friend. When you\u2019re out shopping, if a product has been marked down in price because it goes off in a day or two, buy it and freeze it for later. Incorporate more vegetarian meals into your diet to save on cost; batch cook and freeze multiple portions to save on time; and compare prices at different supermarkets for staples such as bread and milk to get an idea of what\u2019s too much to pay, and what\u2019s a steal at the price.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Support at York<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The university is incredibly understanding when students are experiencing financial difficulty. Every student can apply for an emergency short-term loan to pay for food, utility bills or travel expenses, and there\u2019s no judgement whatsoever. Long-term, if there\u2019s been an unforeseen change in your circumstances, the student support fund can help you as well. If you\u2019re a carer, a disabled student, or living with dependent children, you can also apply for various credits and grants. As a full-time student, you also don\u2019t have to pay council tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, financial support isn\u2019t just available for when you\u2019re experiencing difficulty. If you\u2019re an undergraduate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/finance\/bursaries-scholarships\/bursaries\/\">York offers a range of bursaries<\/a> based on household income, which are not the same as loans, so you don\u2019t have to pay it back. Additionally, there\u2019s a whole host of scholarships for undergraduate, mature, international, and postgraduate students, which work the same way as bursaries in that you don\u2019t have to pay the money back once you\u2019ve finished your degree.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What you can do now<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do yourself a favour, and download apps such as UNiDAYS and Student Beans to instantly get money off your favourite restaurants in York, as well as lifestyle brands, fashion and tech. Work out how much money you\u2019ll have each month after necessary payments (such as rent and bills), and split that into four chunks to get an idea of your budget for each week. Make a note of several student-friendly recipes whose ingredients don\u2019t cost a lot and don\u2019t take too long to make in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go thrift shopping and look in charity shops to get items on the cheap; my dad managed to get me a slow cooker in perfect condition for \u00a32 from a car boot sale, which has been a lifesaver when planning meals. If you\u2019re able to, get yourself a part-time job or summer work to bring in some extra cash. Finally, Martin Lewis is an amazing man who is out there to save you money &#8211; tune in to his shows, as he\u2019ll often do a segment on student finance and budgeting.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope the tips I\u2019ve discussed will help you to save some extra money while you\u2019re here with us at York. Although it\u2019s important to keep a track of your spending, university is also supposed to be a time to enjoy yourself, so make sure to allow yourself some treats and days off!<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there!
