One click away from saving money & stressing less

London is expensive. Between rent, travel, and that cheeky Deliveroo habit, your student loan can disappear faster than you’d like. But don’t panic! There are plenty of free apps that can help you save money, budget better, and grab some sweet deals:

1. UNiDAYS & Student Beans – Discounts on everything 💸

If you don’t already have these apps, download them right now. UNiDAYS and Student Beans give you exclusive student discounts on clothes, food, tech, and even gym memberships. Get deals at ASOS, Apple, Greggs, PureGym and more. Perfect for stretching your budget.

2. Too Good To Go – Cheap eats & food waste reduction 🍕

London has amazing food, but eating out regularly isn’t cheap. Too Good To Go lets you buy leftover food from restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets at a massive discount. Spots like Pret, Starbucks, and local bakeries often list “Magic Bags” full of surprise goodies for just a few quid!

3. Splitwise – No more awkward bill splitting 🏠

Living in shared housing? Splitwise keeps track of who owes what for rent, groceries, and utilities—so you don’t have to chase down your flatmates for that £3.50 they still owe you from last month.

4. Monzo & Revolut – student-friendly banking 💳

Budgeting can be a nightmare, but Monzo and Revolut make it easy. Both apps let you:

• Detail spend tracking (so you know where your money’s actually going)
• Set up budgets/pots for nights out, shopping, and travel
• Use fee-free cards abroad (perfect for summer trips)

5. Trainline & Citymapper – Travel for less 🚆

Getting around London (and beyond) doesn’t have to break the bank. Trainline helps you find the cheapest train tickets, while Citymapper shows the best bus, Tube, and walking routes. Both are good for assessing travel options and finding the cheapest route

6. OLIO  – Free stuff near you 🎁

Need free food, a new lamp, or random bits for your kitchen? OLIO connects you with people giving away unwanted food, second-hand furniture, kitchenware, and more - for free!
