Hello!
Normally I am only on my uni campus for at least 3-4 hrs a
day and then I drive straight home, however on Wednesday’s I have classes and
lectures from 10am – 7pm – which is a long day. I bring snacks with me such as
nuts or yummy protein bars. These are great just to chuck in your bag and go or
if you are like me, eat them during lectures (we aren’t meant to eat in our
lecture halls but I always end up starving in the middle of one lecture on a
Wednesday.)
However some days you just feel like something nice for
lunch. My campus is lovely, lots of coffee shops, we have a book shop, post
office, bank, and food court. Which is great! However lunch normally costs me $10
+ (salad and a drink costs $14.00!)
My campus is surrounded by a huge shopping centre about 10
min walk or 3 min drive, or there is a supermarket just north of the uni. I
decided to venture up to the supermarket to grab a few things while I was on
break.
I found this lovely HUGE tub of pre made caesar salad, with
bacon, cheese and dressing. I always try and pick things that have a fork
included in the pack. I walked over to the deli in the super market and picked
up a piece of cooked chicken to add into my salad. I grabbed a can of drink…and
the total came to $8.50!
Whilst this doesn’t seem like a big deal. I work on a daily
budget of $25 a day while I am at uni (this includes petrol to drive to uni and
back home.) At the end of the day this is a big saving in money, also means I
can order a coffee in the late afternoon to keep me from falling asleep during
a boring economics lectures.
It may take more time and a bit more effort to walk off
campus or drive off campus, but it refreshes your mind being in a different environment
and saves you a few bob J
