    Count me in!

    I'm off to uni in September, after 3 years of working - will be struggling to survive without my lovely wages every month! However, got my budget all worked out... All I need to do now is stick to it - not easy with a serious weakness for beads and craft equipment...

    Any bright ideas I come up with, I'll let you know :)

    If you have a local Freecycle group it might be worth joining. Some of them ask you to offer something first before asking for something but I think if you did ask for craft materials, beads etc you are bound to have some good responses

    haha I thought I was the only one who robs loo rolls. Those massive ones last forever if you take a decent sized bag to uni you can normally get one or two in! Also when you go out for a meal help yourself to the sachets of sauces. I am on a mission never to buy anothet bottle of tomato sauce ever again!

    ^ Well, you might as well, hehe! People should check out Freecycle - always good to see if anything you need is put up there.

    This is a great thread by the way...:)

  • when i was in first year, we took it in turns to buy loo roll but there was one girl who just used to rob the uni's loo roll which we though was a bit unfair!

    I dont see why thats unfair, what i dont see if why the rest of you forked out for it!

    And im with whoever keeps extra sauce sachets i have loads!

    Also, if you smoke, which yep is really expensive and i should quit i know lol, switch to roll ups at least until your ready to quit and its loads cheaper
