Budgeting Basics

Make yourself a budget by using our handy budgeting template.

This will give you a realistic perspective on where you are financially. Evaluating your spending habits for the past two months will give you a pretty solid indication of how you’re doing. When you calculate how much you’re spending each month, you realize how quickly it all adds up – and it may be much more than you realized.

Ways to save your Money:

  • Always use your student discount card or coupons.
  • Consider buying used on websites like Kijiji (no one will know the difference).
  • Go grocery shopping at Loblaws on Tuesdays and enjoy 10% off for students!
  • Bring your own lunch or get the special at the Marketplace Food Court.
