SAVE YOUR MONEY EVERYDAY 

In this article I will give you several small tips that you can apply to make small savings!

First,  freezing!  Freeze your prepared food or food you can not eat before the expiration date can help you save some money on food and on top of that it avoids waste!

Bring your own plastic bag! The bags are not free, of course they are only 5 pennies but buy them regularly can increase the amount and moreover it is better for the environment!

Off peak hours! Especially with the train, avoid traveling during peak hours, tickets are more expensive and in addition there are more people that's less enjoyable. Similarly for taxis, some hours are to be avoided, such as weekend evenings, it is more expensive and more difficult to find a taxi!

Don’t go shopping (food) every day, set yourself one day a week and for shopping and with a budget, it will avoid you to buy everything and anything.

Use your little coins in automatic machines, instead of piling them into a corner the 1, 2 and 5 pennies can sometimes be helpful!

Walk ! Glasgow city can easily be explored by walking from one point to an other if you take the time. It makes you do some exercise and it is nicer than being crowded into a bus or subway full and paying!

Tip 7 : Shops and restaurants

Now here it is  an article about places in Glasgow where  you'll make the best savings. These are restaurants, shops …  where prices are lower than competitors.

Eat well elsewhere than at home for cheap this is something we all dream about. Unfortunately it is difficult to find restaurants at very low prices  that allow us to eat very well. In Glasgow I have found some nice location with low prices and attractive menus which allow students to eat well without spending a fortune. Here are the restaurants which  I know and I have already tried:

Juan chihuahua: It is a restaurant on sauchiehall street. it is spicy Mexican meal (burritos, faritas etc). There is a less than 10 pounds meal with a starter and main course!

Word buffet: it is a restaurant serving world cuisine including Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Italian. This restaurant is in the form of a buffet for the price of 6 pound for lunch and 11 for dinner! (Warning: if you do not finish your plate will be charged 5 pound you for the waste).

Walkabout: it is first  a bar but it offers small plates  well furnished for prizes between 3 and 10 pound

Where we would also like to save money are the shops. I know some shop where you can buy clothes, or products for low prices.

First of course the inevitable Poundland: as its name suggests all products in this store are 1 pound, this can be very economical for a large number of products such as accessories or food, for example. But be careful you do not always make a saving by purchasing a product for a pound! Certain products are cheaper somewhere else such as cleaning products, for example.

 Savers: there are cleaning products, prices are not very high and there are many regular promotions!

Next we come to clothing stores, then I advise you to Forever 21  on buchanan street where the  choice is very big and the prices are acceptable!

Finally  Primark where prices are very low for all products present in the stores.
