Discount Vouchers
Education can be a very costly process. The more you can get for free then the better and easier it will be on your wallet. Thatcher put an end to the best freebie from school, the milk! There was nothing better than shaking your milk till the cream formed at the top!
For parents primary and high school are very costly, for less privileged parents you can get dinner vouchers and clothing vouchers for uniform. Many schools are turning into cashless systems so everything is done with slips and payment cards which the parents fill in. Buying your dinner at school every day 5 days a week for 6 years racks up. I always wanted my school dinner but my mum said it was cheaper to take butties!
You move onto collage and the onus is still on the parent, its still down to them to finance you usually, maybe if you want to eat hot lunces you start to take your own money, after all your old enough to look after yourself at that age.
Then university roles along. University can cripple you, trust me ive been crippled by uni, Many people see students as trying to sponge money and free stuff but its not until your in university trying to live on not very much you appreciate what you need to do. There are still grants available but as i found you really have to be in a scary position financially to actually get any money from the authorities.
Its at times like this when i looked to discount vouchers. Discount vouchers or Voucher codes can be found online and they usually provide discounts or free delivery, now you may be thinking how can students buy online when they are as skint as they say? Well i still needed to buy things, birthdays, Christmas, general things we needed, things are often found cheaper online!
You can even get discounts on your shopping, I used to shop faithfully in Iceland! there is nothing like a shop full of processed chicken!! However if you live in a house with 6 people in then you can all club together to do your shopping online, search for a Tesco’s voucher code, i say group together because most of the time it might be an offer that activates when you spend £50 or more.
Either way education is a hard and costly process however there are ways and means to chip at the edges and make the journey a little bit easier, It may be hard and full of sob stories but university is the best time you will ever have.
