The new term’s drawing ever closer, so now is the perfect time to start preparations for the coming year. Scrimping and saving will probably always be a part of the student experience, it’s true, but there are a few less than obvious things you can invest in while your new loan is fresh (or, better yet, while you still have the chance to drag parents to the shops) that could well save you a packet down the road.
Here is a round-up of some deals and discounts for students in the Cardiff area (all available via Student Discount Book):
Koko Gorrilaz
3 for 2 on any main meals
20% off all food orders
Simon Constantinou Hairdressing
£10 off hair cut
£15 off any colour service
Mens: £10 dry cut; £12 wet cut; £14 cut and blowdry
Summer is upon us so why not treat yourself and sink your teeth into one of these absolute bargains?
The Dutchy Pot at The 78 Cafe Bar
The Dutchy Pot serves an entire three course meal for under a tenner every Thursday night. You can sit down from 5pm and the bar has a really lively nightlife, so you can have a cheeky little boogie once your dinner’s gone down!
The 78 Cafe Bar, 10-14 Kelvinhaugh Street, 5pm-1am. £2-£9
Summer seems to have finally turned up. Well, in three day spells at least. As a student with exam season winding to a close at the same time, it can only mean one thing – barbecues! Many an afternoon can be whittled away out in the sunshine, cooking/charring sausages and burgers.
Of course, food isn’t free, so we’ve compared the prices for a nominal shopping list at the top three supermarkets, so you know where to get your grub on a budget. We haven’t gone for the dirt cheap options as they don’t cook well or taste nice even on proper BBQ grill, let alone the disposable ones you’ll likely be using.
