My University Buys

So, the past week has been full of buying things for my room in student accommodation. I purely wanted to buy things that looked pretty to make my room more homely, but I went shopping with my dad (and his money) and he wouldn't let me. It's going to be so hard trying to budget! At the moment, I am trying to keep everything that I plan on taking with me in a little corner of my room. Here are some of my budget buys.

                    

My best budget buy has to be my bedding, which I got from B&M. This includes a duvet, two pillows and a mattress protector; it only cost £10. When I looked in other shops, it was at least £10 to buy a quilt alone, so this was an AMAZING budget buy!!!

                          

 This next buy, in my opinion, was the most important buy, so I didn't really look at the price tag. My quilt covers. When you go to university, you can't decorate your room like you would at home, you have to make the most of what you have. The walls in my room are cream, so pretty much anything with go in my room, but I've used by bedding to try and create a bit of a colour scheme. Both sets are made up of pink, green and whites. I bought one from Asda and the other from Morrisons both where around a similar price of £10.

                       

When at university you have to do you best to save your pennies and make each one count. And to save these pennies you need a money box. I got this from B&M for 89p (even cheaper than the pound shop!)

                             

As you can see from the first picture, I have a lot more stuff. It will just take far to long to write (and for you to read) about every single item. Some things are things I've had for years, some are from my parents house (that they don't need). So when your buying for university, or just moving, don't buy everything! Have a look at what you and family members already have.
