Students, it’s likely you’ve found yourself stopping by the local grocery store on the way home from class to pick up pre-made sushi or canned soup to have for dinner when you’re too tired to cook, much less stay awake through a restaurant meal. Right?

Just because you study abroad, doesn’t mean you can’t do the exact same thing. Almost all our accommodations provide a kitchen, which you can use to cook or heat anything desired.

Plus eating in saves wads of cash in comparison to eating out. Compare a pizza in at $5 to a restaurant one at $20.

In New Zealand, we’re fans of Countdown and New World. And in Australia, we frequent Coles and Woolworths. Woolys, as you’ll come to know Woolworths, offers an added bonus to shopping there. Sign up for a free Everyday Rewards card and earn one mile with Qantas for every dollar over $35 you spend in each transaction.

Buy groceries, save money on food and start earning miles toward your next ticket Down Under. What a novel concept.
