Money Saving Tips For Your First Day of School

Hi again,

It's Paula, new update I'm a fashion school student. YAY! Now there's a lot of misconceptions about fashion students one being "all fashion students are loaded stuck up sons and daughters of bitches" I call bull. Not all of us are loaded or stuck up or sons and daughters of bitches.

And since I'm currently in between rich and broke at the moment here's a few money saving tips for all you guys and gals that are back to school-ers like me.

1. Eat breakfast at home.

(If you take caffeine I suggest you do that at home too.) skip the long line at Starbucks and avoid spending over 300PhP for a sandwich that you can make at home for quarter the price. Also there's a lot of instant coffee that you can get for the cheap.

2. Trade cabs for walks

Now if you're like me who takes public commute from my home to the school/office try leaving 30minutes earlier and avoid the traffic. It'll give you plenty of time to get to work or school.

3. Bring essentials

There is nothing more expensive than purchasing at convenience stores. A regular pen would cost you 5PhP but that's going to be around 21PhP in convenience stores. Turn those into savings by making sure you have everything you'll need in your purse.

4. Brown Paper bag your lunches

Or be creative and make a bento. Being healthy is the in thing now, so if you're thinking of eating salad for lunch skip that trip to Wendy's and buy fresh veggies and fruits and whip it into a salad.

Remember that money doesn't grow on trees. And start saving those pisos. It would feel like 200PhP on cab fares is nothing. But accumulate that into a month and you can easily purchase a new pair of jeans with that.

Xo,

Paula
