That are just as good as the original

Student essentials can soon add up, especially with brands coming out with the next best product all the time. That's where dupes come in! 

From beauty to tech, here are some of the best student-friendly dupes that will help you save some money: 

Amazon Stanley-style cup

The viral Stanley Cups have been a hit! These huge cups are a great way to keep you hydrated and make sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day, especially during long days of lectures – but priced at around £40, it's just not affordable. 

So why not try Amazon's dupe? Leakproof, insulated and just as big, it has all the perks of a branded one without the heavy price tag. 

Superdrug sprays

Superdrug's collection of Layering Lab body mists are rivalling high-end perfumes, being dupes for the popular Euphoria, Alien, Olympéa, Black Opium and more! 

Priced at just £3.99 a bottle, they're a must-buy bargain. 

Wireless earphones

Instead of opting for Apple Airpods, you can find great quality earphones from Amazon, Argos and TikTok Shop for under £30. 

Like these Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds from Amazon for £19.99, they even come with similar features like noise-cancelling technology and long playtimes. 

Smartwatches

Into your fitness, or want to be? Don't fork out hundreds for a smartwatch that you only want to use for your fitness needs.

The Amazfit Smartwatch comes in under £40 or check out the HUAWEI Watch Fit for £59.99. Both have plenty of similar features to the big branded watches, like built-in assistants, water resistance and multiple monitoring modes. 

Tablets

Did you know that the latest iPad prices start at £999? If you're looking for affordable alternatives, the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is now £149.99 (and is currently discounted on Amazon!). 

With a full HD display, 13-hour battery life and thin and durable design, this is a great choice to take on the go around campus or watch your favourite series. 

Food

When it comes to food, supermarket branded items are the go-to to save some pennies. We would recommend looking around your nearest Lidl or Aldi to find the best deals, not just for food either.

There's dupes for almost everything out there, you just have to look!
