The tough thing about minimizing spending as a grad student, in my view, is that it needs to be done both at a high level of impact, such as having one or more roommates, and at a low level of impact, such as seeking out free entertainment on campus (because lots of those low-level actions do add up). That takes a lot of energy! But I would go for the high-impact actions first, like you listed. Minimizing food spending was one I spent a lot of energy on while I was in grad school because it is such a large monthly variable expense.

Absolutely true and sometime co-housing is best choice to save more, because split bills with others for determined period is good deal… This is good also when you are on a budget go to Public Library and see what events it can offers, It is been a real discover in the past years!!!

Great post! My fiance is doing a part-time, online engineering masters program, which is paid for entirely by his job (whoo!!), and he is still able to have his full-time income. But I didn’t even think about him getting student discounts. That is great advice!
