Save Money Out and About

Invest in a bus pass or rail card - it’ll save you loads and you’ll never need change again.
Even better, cycle or walk whenever possible. You’ll get fit and help the environment in the process
Be sure to check the reduced section in your local supermarket, you can save up to 75% on things that are close to their sell by date. Also check out the market at Salford Shopping City.
Buying lunch can cost you £5 a day, why not bring a packed lunch instead?
Choose value brands over big names, there’s often very little difference in the products.
Be creative with your clothes. Customise, swap with friends and browse the charity shops instead of spending £50 on a new outfit.
Buy your books, DVDs and CDs second hand. Take a look at websites such as Student Books or Amazon for good deals. Sell on your old things when you’re finished with them.
Get an NUS Extra card for discounts and special offers in many High street shops.
