Give yourself a weekly allowance for food, alcohol, transportation, clothes&#8230; etc. Try your best to avoid spending more than what you planned. This will hopefully prevent wild nights out ending up with you spending \u00a350 on drinks at the club, or any late-night splurges on the online sales.<\/span><\/li><li><strong><b>Make yourself packed lunches on busy days<\/b><\/strong>. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have a hectic day of lectures, maybe spare 5 minutes the night before to make yourself a sandwich. This means that you won\u2019t have to buy food when you are ou<\/span>t.<\/li><li><strong><b>Cooking!!!<\/b><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> You don\u2019t realise how much money you can save just by <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/2021\/06\/12\/how-to-make-home-cooked-recipes-as-a-student\/\">cooking<\/a><\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">meals from the basic ingredients rather than getting a takeaway or even a ready meal. Learning <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/2021\/06\/12\/how-to-make-home-cooked-recipes-as-a-student\/\">simple and easy meals<\/a> before you come to university can be an easy way to cut down on your spending.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Be strict with your spending habits.<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It might seem hard initially, but try and evaluate your purchases. Do you really need to buy that jumper, or is it going to be worn once and then sit in your wardrobe?<\/span><\/li><li><b>Try not to use retail therapy as a coping mechanism.<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It might seem tempting to splurge on Asos shoes, or buy a new wardrobe when you are feeling stressed. Your bank account wont thank you in the long term. Try to find <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/2021\/12\/04\/making-time-for-you-mindfulness-strategies-to-de-stress\/\">other ways to help manage stress<\/a> and your negative emotions. Maybe watch a film or take a walk in the fresh air. Remember that the university has so much support, both pastorally and academically. If you are ever in need<\/span> of help, advice or just a friendly chat &#8211; you can always talk to your academic supervisor or make an appointment for a chat at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/support\/student-hub\/\">Student Hub<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Doing your food shop<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most students may not be used to shopping for food on their own. It can be quite stressful if you&#8217;re not sure what sort of things you need each week. But once you\u2019ve established some basic meals and the staples that you tend to have regularly, supermarket shopping gets so much easier.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My tips for food shopping:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Do one big shop once a week<\/b><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taking the time to do one big shop every week is so beneficial. It saves you time as you don\u2019t have to keep going back and forth to the shops whenever you run out of something. You also avoid the tendency of picking up things that look may appealing, but you don\u2019t actually need<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Write a shopping list before you go<\/b><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This has honestly helped me so much. For someone who finds the whole supermarket shopping experience stressful, this has made my life so much easier. It means that I am in and out of the shop in a flash. You are also less likely to forget something and have to come back later in the week.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Use Lidl and Aldi<\/b><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They are both easy to get to from campus and will save you so much money! Try and avoid doing any big shops at the Ni<\/span>sa<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on campus, as it tends to be quite as expensive. It is really worth taking the small bus trip to the cheaper supermarkets. You&#8217;ll then have more money to spend on the things you enjoy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Plan your meals in advance<\/b><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Planning out your meals for the week can be super helpful. Especially for the times where you may be in a rush, or you have lectures until late. It also means you won\u2019t be stuck having beans on toast for 4 nights straight!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just remember &#8211; when coming to university, no one is going to be perfect at managing their finances. It&#8217;s all about doing what you can to save money and keep within your spending limits. Adult life is full of hurdles, so don\u2019t be too hard on yourself if things don&#8217;t go to plan. Sometimes you make mistakes, spend too much or buy stupid things. But it&#8217;s all about adapting and learning better ways to ensure that you never end up with nothing in your bank account!<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Managing your spending at university can seem like a daunting prospect.
