[myself] Ways to survive (financially) in college daily life~

Getting into college is hard enough, but how to manage the money to spend daily is even harder.
We students haven’t come out to make money yet, so how we spend is very crucial (especially for your wallet)

1) Eat economical rice for lunch; make sure to pick dishes which can provide balanced nutrients.
2) Buy a packet of instant noodles, that would be your lunch. [WARNING: this is no healthy menu]
3) To prevent your craving (spending) for snacks, have some delicious cookie/biscuit ready so you can munch when your teeth is feeling ‘itchy’.
4) When buying body shampoo, buy the refill pack instead because you can save up to 40%.
5) Same goes to detergent, buy the refill pack if possible.
6) Cut your consumption of carbonated drinks, research show they are ‘eating’ your calcium in your body.
7) Buy vegetables in bulk so you can trade it for other vegetables with your friends.
8) When you crave for something to eat, drink water. You will be full in no time, besides it’s healthy.
9) Keep an unbreakable piggy bank, where there’s only in and no out. Put some money everyday, even a little bit means something once it accumulates.
10) Entertainment is a must for young people, like watching movies. Use your student pass, it’s cheaper that way.
11) Or better, wait until your friends bought the video, you can just borrow from them.
