Challenges about Budgeting and Grocery Shopping

Budgeting and grocery shopping is one of the best ways to trim down your monthly expenses and daily spending- but there are dozens of challenges out there- especially the advice that is ultimately unrealistic.

When pulling all nighters- which I highly advise against- and during Finals Week, a nice nap, break, snack will be nice once the dining halls have closed or when you don’t want to leave your dorm.

My now-husband (then-boyfriend) had a fridge that was somewhere in between the size of mine and that of my roommate’s. With that said and over with, here is a list of foods that are handy for the dorm and the mini-fridge!
  • Coconut Water
  • Fruit Juice
  • Soda
  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Pasta
  • Oatmeal Packages
