» Ask your hairdresser about budget-friendly styles that require less maintenance, little-to-no product and fewer appointments.

» Rent your special occasion outfits. Why fork out full-price for a wear-it-once item when you can pay just a fraction and still look great? Jump online to find out more about this growing trend.

» Give body scrubs a miss (they end up down the drain!) and opt for exfoliating gloves or mitts that can be used again and again.

» Look online for specials and deals on your favourite products and sign up to their newsletter to be first in the know for exclusive offers.

» Say goodbye to big-name brands. Scour social media and research beauty blogs for recommendations of great generic brand substitutes.

» Modify your man-scaping costs by becoming a member of the Dollar Shave Club.

» Get thrifty with your threads. Op-shops and markets are a student budget’s best friend and a great chance to bag yourself a total bargain.

» If your gym-going phase has come and gone, be honest with yourself and cancel your membership! Running and walking are great for the mind and body, can be done anywhere and are absolutely free.

Whether you’re into man-scaping, manicures or remedial massage, part of being a stingy student is learning how to look a million dollars when you may not have many dollars at all. Get more bang

for your buck with these simple tips!
