Cook for yourself to save money - I recommend Lidl
Tip 1: Don't forget to bring your own shopping bag
Tip 2: Get reduced prices in the late afternoon
Tip 3: Get Lidl Plus app or a Tesco Clubcard for discounts
Pork and salmon are cheaper in the UK than in Indonesia but overall food shopping is more expensive but it follow the standard of living in the UK
Tip 4: Walk instead of taking a taxi or a bus - get a free yLink card for student discounts
Explore the city and get to know new poeple. Try bowling and mini golf- £9 per person
Tip 5: List your spending- grocery shopping, coffees etc - add it all up and check if it's within your limits
Tip 6: Join Clubs and societies - some have student discounts for products in cafes and restaurants
Tip 7: On Campus jobs can help you make some extra money
I used Indeed to find a job in Victoria Square. There are a lot of job opportunities in Belfast. It's good experience and will help you make your money go further.
