Nigerian student in UK shares money-saving tips
Identified on TikTok as @uba_xo, the lady said she saved money through changing gyms, avoiding African stores and making her hair by herself.
She said she loved to go to the gym, and because the gym required monthly subscriptions, she devised a means to pay 50% off the price.
The student said:
"What I do is that I change gym every month because you get 50% off when you register for a new gym."
In the comments, she mentioned that there were about four gyms in the town where she stayed in the United Kingdom.
The lady also added that buying items from the African stores was expensive, and she stuck to buying from big supermarkets to reduce costs and save money.
Uba mentioned that she spent at most £90 (N166,000) for groceries and feeding every month.
She captioned the video:
"Ridiculous things I do to save money as an International stuent. Let me know if you need a part 2 because I have a lot. Also, comment some of the things you are doing to save money so we can all learn."
