And if you want to see more fun but also informative content, don't forget to subscribe, it really means the world to me and I'm not just saying that I actually mean it. Number one, let's start with the basics. A accommodation movie your biggest expense so finding the right place is really key. And the truth is if you're looking for a whole apartment, you have a way better chances of finding a good deal than looking for a single room. So if you have friends that are already in the city or you have a boyfriend then really consider moving in and to live with them because the chances are you will pay less and you will find a better and nicer place. Make sure you're not overpaying for your bills. The thing is many Londoners are used to inheriting. Can I just stop you right there for a second. When people do this, I don't really know what that means. There are energy bills from their landlord or from the previous tenant but there might be better service and better offer for you out there and their websites such as YouSwitch or GoCompare where you can go and easily check the prices so you can see what are the starting price and you can get a way better deal. Number three, transport. And this is kind of the same as the bills. If you're not traveling every day just make sure that you have the right travel card for you that it's for the zones that you're using or if you're not traveling every day you might be actually better off paying every time that you're using the public transport. Consider getting a bike. You can get one of the suntan their bikes which cost just two pounds for unlimited access for 24 hours as long as your journey is not more than 30 minutes. If it's more than 30 minutes then it costs additional two pounds for each 30 minutes period but the thing is those bikes are actually quite heavy so it might be hard for you to bike around the city for more than 30 minutes plus if you're within central London then 30 minutes is the perfect time for you to get from one place to the other. Plus you're sustainable. And guys if you're new here please drop me a comment down below we really want to come and see high to all of you. You know those days when you're so lazy you just want to stay in bed but you actually want to go somewhere and you have to get a noob. Well Dancerys don't get a noob. Hear me out. There's so many applications out there that offer better pricing and also will give you this count code for the first time you're using them. So you can check out the prices on lift easy taxi or this one and I promise you you will spend five more minutes in bed researching but you will save at least 30% of your journey. Worth it isn't it? Five is about coffee. Instead of buying coffee every single day from prep or any of those big chains you can make it at home and just like that you will save seven big pounds but if you don't want to listen to me and you still want to get your coffee you can bring a reusable coffee cup and they will take 20 or 30p out of your bill plus you will be more sustainable. I don't have one but also don't forget to bring your water bottle. Another very money waste of habit that many people have is to buy and launch every single day or do deliveries. But I'm really not judging anyone because those mions are so delicious. This costs you from five to 10 pounds every single time but what I suggest you doing instead is preparing your lunch at home plus you get to carry one of these super cute lunch boxes and just like that you can save 200 pounds every single month. Seven and this one is again about food and shopping because those habits are the ones that make a difference in your budget. Consider shopping and you add your ethical store if you haven't been there before. Let me know do you guys go to your ethical stores but I found here this lentil starter two kilos and cost only to 79 isn't this amazing and they always have such great products but if you're a person that still prefers buying things at bulk then you can go to Audi or Lidl which have great prices. Remember when I told you to bring your water bottle? Well if you do that if you do that actually there is this upcode my miso which shows you which is the closest station where you can refill water for free so you will save money and be sustainable so it's kind of a win-win situation. Number nine if you're not using too good to go or karma guys please go now on your up store and download them because those apps are amazing. Basically what they do is that they offer you the possibility of buying all the remaining food of the restaurant at the end of the day which otherwise they would throw away. Let's fight this food waste let's get cheap and delicious meals and because I want to show you how much I support this I am actually going to get a goodie bag from Cafe Nero. Let's see what are we actually going to get with three pounds.
