I am Sugandha Bhadari from India, currently doing my master\u2019s in Corporate Communication at Bournemouth University. Coming from a country that is known as the \u2018Land of Spices\u2019, I thought I wouldn\u2019t be able to cook in England or buy spices here, so my mother packed all the spices for me. However, I was WRONG!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for spices at the best prices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Being a college town, Bournemouth has offered me everything in terms of local Indian and Thai spices. As a student, you are always on a tight budget, so planning is a must. To get the best price deals, I have downloaded a free application on my phone called \u2018MySupermarket\u2019, which looks at the shopping list that I created and finds the products that I need in the supermarkets near me. It is feasible, as it shows the cheaper alternatives!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Low cost shopping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I live in Winton which is only 10-15 minutes from the university. Winton has a lot to offer, from\u00a0Lidl and Waitrose to a Korean and an Indian supermarket. My first place to find the groceries is Lidl, as it offers products at reasonable prices. If I can\u2019t find what I need at Lidl, I will travel to ASDA or go to Waitrose. The later, however, has nearly everything but at a relatively higher price. Also, if you happen to be the kind of person who likes to shop in bulk, then ASDA and ALDI are definitely your dear friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eating out<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apart from allowing you to do your grocery shopping on a daily basis, Bournemouth offers a lot of affordable restaurants. From Thai and Greek to North and South Indian restaurants, you will be able to find everything in Bournemouth. You can also download an application called \u2018Unidays\u2019 which will let you know about all the discounts and offers, not only on restaurants but also on other shopping outlets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Student discounts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A lot of cafes and fast-food restaurants offer plenty of student discounts. Some don\u2019t tend to display them, so always ask for a student discount and make sure you are always carrying your student card to get the best deals on FOOD!!<\/p>\n<p>Food is never too far in Bournemouth!<\/p>\n<p>By Sugandha Bhadari, India, MA Corporate Communication, 2017\/18<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
