These are great tips, and as a recent grad,when shopping for my mum, that the unhealthier things, and own brand things (such as Tesco Value) are cheaper than the more healthier things.

If you happen to know another language (main ones, German, Spanish, Chinese, etc.) check foreign airlines for flights to overseas, I am living in Germany and had a friend who had to fly back to the States U.S site: $1,000 and a German site: about 500 Euros. Knowing another language helps!

These are great tips, and as a recent grad, I would say that they also work once you are out of college, and a part of the work force, as well. I have actually calculated some of my savings and have put it all into a high-yield savings account.

I don’t trust the ingredient quality of Sam’s club’s Oven & Microwave food.

Sheppard’s Pie came through for me:
1 bag of red potatoes, boil, mash
1 can carrots
2 can English peas
1/2 pound ground beef (maybe more)
seasoning and spices

cook and mix all together in large bowl, spread into large tin pan, bake in oven for an hour on 300.

will feed you lunch and dinner for 3-4 days. Only costs around 13dollars

I think the golden rule should always be to buy bulk. I’m not in college, but buying bulk has always saved us a ton. (We have a Sams Club that we go to for these kinds of purchases.)

I took a look at the list you linked to, and to be fair, he could have squashed it down by a few (it was kind of redundant to say not to buy your books new and then add another number for buying them used.) If I’m not buying them new, then what am I buying them as?

The part about tracking cell minutes could be reduced by either going with a pay as you go phone or picking up a plan that has unlimited minutes (or simply asking to be put on your family cell phone plan would work just as well.)

Usually when people work through college, I’ve known some to get jobs at either a fast food chain or a local restaurant – either way, their food was either at a major discount or completely free (as was the case when I worked at Wendy’s or McDonald’s.)

“Avoid buying snacks at the movie theater; they always overcharge you.” I used to work at a movie theater and the reasoning behind the overpriced food is the fact that the theater itself turns the largest profit from snack sales.

Nice find – there are a few things on the list that will definitely save some money, and I’m sure that your readers could come up with more – just takes a little bit of ingenuity and abstract thought. You never know where your next dollar can be saved until you experiment.
