The Pound Effect

So get this. I’m talking to my American friend, and as great American tourists, we start complaining about the Pound and how expensive London is. It really is. (Some European cities are more expensive, but still, London is not cheap at all). So anyways, we start talking of ways to save money. We constantly look at the exchange rates, and when they are more favorable for us we rush to the ATM to get money, or we buy in bulk, eat less (yeah, right, like I can do that), only go out in the weekends (trust me, in the beginning it was more like every day), not tipping the bathroom people (if you follow my blog you’ll get it), searching for student discounts, among other things, but then she dropped the bomb on me. She goes, “You know what I do, and I have to tell you, I am sooo smart for doing this, it saves me a lot of money”, I’m like shit, I need to save more money, “Tell me!”. “Well, I just steal toilet paper from public bathrooms, I take an unopened roll and stick in my purse, it’s brilliant. Same with ketchup from fast foods, salt, napkins, etc. Best decision of my life”.

And that’s the effect of the pound on American students.
