OTHER WAYS
- Sign up to mailing lists for free stuff: www.studentfreestuff.com and www.118student.co.uk/freestuff are two of the better ones.
- Sell any unwanted belongings on ebay. Do you have any cds or dvds you don’t use anymore? Or old clothes? This could provide a reasonable amount of money and gets rid of clutter you don’t need anymore. Because of such high textbook costs, there is quite a high demand for second hand books and Amazon will allow you to sell them to others.
- Life modelling. It pays well and may be an option if you wouldn’t mind doing it.
- Companies will pay you cash to advertise their adverts on your car. It is an effective way to raise a lump sum of cash quickly.
- Sperm/egg donation – this isn’t for everyone but, again, is another option some people may consider. Find out more by visiting your fertility centre or hospital.
- Withdraw the maximum interest free overdraft from your student account and transfer it into a high interest account.
- Home-cooking and bulk buying are popular and effective ways for saving money as a student.
- Go to a supermarket and the end of night or before it closes. All the perishables are marked down to very low prices.
- Don’t be lazy and walk. You would be surprised at how much money you would save if you walked instead of took the car/bus.
- Cut down your drinking. Its not a popular way to save money, but it certainly works
