Here are twelve ways to save money in college. ■ Make your own lunch. ■Shop around. Don’t buy the first item you see. ■Learn when to say no. Ask yourself whether you really have the money for what you’re thinking about buying. ■Give service instead of spending. For example, agree to watch a friend’s children for a few hours in exchange for a good meal. ■Cur down the number of shopping trips you make. ■Borrow clothes from friends and relatives. ■ Have other students cut your hair. ■Check newspapers for lower prices on lunches or dinners. ■Use your college’s library services. Read their books and newspapers instead of buying them, for example. ■Ask other students about the least expensive super markets, restaurants, and so on. ■Ask yourself whether you’re buying because you need something or just because other students are buying. ■Be ready to change your attitude when necessary. For example, some people think that the most expensive item is the best item, but you don’t always get what you pay for.
