How to Save £ pounds as a Student in London

I have been doing many research to save £s this holiday.

In order to do so I splurge on certain websites and promotions just to find out for myself if it works.

I found this website called Top Cash Back. Apparently if I click through them to the companies I usually purchase my products from such as skype, ebay, tesco, comets...etc I will get cash back from them and the cash back I've accumulated I could change my cash backs to amazon voucher's or into my paypal. *please support me!* :) click here! if you are planning to join that I may get 10£ cash back. (it is a link that verify my recommendation)

I also change from orange mobile network to Giffgaff mobile network( been using it for 3 months now) . It is a very good mobile network to go with because they use O2 satellites which is the best coverage in UK ( so good that sometimes when I'm lifts and car parks, lower ground floor I get signal too...). More over with their 10£ a month Goodie Bag I receive 250mins, unlimited text and unlimited internet!
If you do plan to try, make sure you click through my link to order a sim card so that you get free 5£ credit in your sim card. It's true! my sister activated hers and we both got 5£ each in our giffgaff account. I wish somebody recommended the sim card to me that I could have got 5£ when I join but I didn't. sobs ='(

I also learned that I could call 0845 numbers for free through skype-to-go option, I bought a 400mins 3.99/month. which safes me money when I have to call those big companies to solve any banking matters or bills.

I got a couple of freebies from student Beans website too. Remember having my first box of Graze delivered to my door step for FREE ! Then immediately cancelling my future order so that I had their free trial offer.

I also got a little crazy by buying original student software instead of downloading torrent now. So proud of myself ! I want to continue buying genuine software but so far windows 7 ultimate was the crazies I've done and could afford. So, after doing my research I found out that the software prices in Phoenixs is much better than software4students by a couple of quids. Hope I will be able to purchase adobe premium student edition in the future after saving enough £399 instead of thousands of ££s (non-student edition).


That's all for now. Hope I can share more saving tips that I have found out as a student here in London.

Cool Little New Invention

This is the trouble with me. I love to go green and paperless, shifting from hard copy to soft copy for everything. However somehow somethings seems to make more sense when it's in your hands...or something beautiful you dont wish that it's only in your phone or your hard disc.
