1. Buy your book used
Many students have to buy their own books in high school, vocational school and university.
New books in many courses can cost a student quite a fortune if there is no money saved, no student aid available and no student loan.
However, a good way to save property money on books is to buy them simply used.
Many schools have some sort of forum online, and you can buy books from previous years ’students’ courses at a lower price.
If the school does not have a forum, you can always search for textbooks, for example in a used bookshop. You can easily save hundreds a year!
2. Sell your used books
It is guaranteed that next year’s students will need exactly the textbooks you yourself bought the previous year.
A good way to make some money for yourself and save on book costs is to sell the books to the next student.
With the money you receive, you can then easily buy next year’s books, for example. Recycling to glory!
3. Save money by eating healthy
Many imagine that eating healthily requires a lot of money, and that as a student it is impossible to eat healthily. However, this could not be further from the truth, as you can also eat healthily as a student.
Instead of eating cup noodles and pea soup from day to day, you can try oatmeal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and a salad or soup for dinner, for example.
Good snack options include all fruits, roots, muesli bars and protein shakes.
You should take advantage of all possible discounts in the store.
For example, if you come across bread and meat that are at a discount, buy them a little more and put them in the freezer. They stay there for quite some time.
It’s good not to buy delicacies, soft drinks, candy, ice cream and other foods that don’t have any nutrients. These products cost a lot but do not give you energy.
Good and versatile products from which you can make many different dishes include potatoes, rice, chicken, minced meat and frozen vegetables.
By buying frozen products, you can save a long penny of money compared to fresh products.
Also, take advantage of school lunch whenever possible. School lunches are free (or at least cheap), and tasty as well as healthy.
So be wise when shopping, plan your menu and don’t waste money on vanities.
4.Get a little side job
Studies often take up students all the time, so doing work on the side of study can be challenging.
But thanks to the internet, students can also work when they have some time.
Small jobs suitable for students include filling out surveys, freelance work , sharing mail, cleaning, and designing logos and websites.
Completing the surveys may not make you rich, but a few extra tens a month may become a need for the student.
Businesses are happy to pay to get the opinions of consumers, as opinions allow them to improve their services and products.
So many sites online offer a small fee for completing a survey.
Reimbursements are usually only a few cents to a few euros, but if you fill these buses while you wait or shop at the checkout, you might earn a few dozen a month.
Sharing mail can be a great way to earn a few hundred. If you don’t have the time or energy to distribute mail on weekdays, you can take weekend shifts to your account.
That way, you can easily earn a couple hundred more a month.
Another good way to make extra money is to clean up. You don’t need a lot of experience to clean, and you can often do certain types of cleaning on weekends, evenings, or even in the middle of the night.
From this, you might comfortably earn a few extra notes in your pocket.
Freelancer jobs, such as designing logos and websites, can be very good ways for a student to earn on their own schedule.
If you are artistic and use the internet and image editing software, you can earn even a full-time job every month.
5. Sell away your useless stuff
For example, if you want to go shopping to buy that jacket you love, first sell some of your old clothes to get a pile of shopping money.
Maybe there are plush toys, old books, or DVDs in your corners that you can sell and save some money on.
