Don’t forget to take full advantage of schemes where you buy a certain number of products to get one free: even though you’ve filled your loyalty card buying medium-sized burritos, you can probably indulge in a large one for no cost at all. 6) Go to university events Many universities host free talks, gallery viewings, and alumni networking events which are open to students, which can provide you with a load of entertaining evenings.
