<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n1. Staying alive<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n To get more for your money, shop around the supermarkets to find the lowest-priced items. Now, I don\u2019t mean walking around five shops with a notepad and pen, jotting each price down to the penny; you can compare prices online with apps and websites like Trolley.co.uk that do all the work for you!\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Bringing lunch to campus with you can help cut down additional spending too. I know the pastries in the co-op are enticing but making lunch at home can help lower the price per portion and get you more food for your money! If you pack it the night before, you don\u2019t have to spend extra time in the morning making it <\/span>or<\/span><\/i> spend hours in the lunchtime queues either! Win-win. <\/span><\/p>\n Kent are helping their students with the cost of living increase by offering \u00a33 hot meals on campus. They\u2019re delicious <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> cheap. Name a better combination…<\/span><\/p>\n 2. Getting around<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Saving money on travel can be difficult, but there are ways around it. If you live close enough, you could walk to university a few days a week! Here at Kent, we have what feels like a massive hill, but it’s really just a footpath up to campus. It helps me to <\/span>get my exercise in before my first seminar! <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If walking isn\u2019t an option and you have a car, you could car share with other friends that do. Not only do you save money on fuel and parking, and help the environment, but you can start your day singing along with friends on the drive! We choose Taylor Swift but that isn\u2019t a requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
