Can you offer tips on living frugally as a college student?

Living with boyfriend in either a dorm or off campus apartment.

You already know about Ramen do not forget peanutbutter and jelly and mac and cheese too! Cutdown on all expenses such as CABLE - rid the cable bill and limit yourselves to a few rental movies or even NEtflix is a great deal. If you need internet go down to your local library it is FREE or even at your College too. Get rid of LONG DISTANCE and cut your cell phone bill usage and keep track of your minutes! If you have cars then cut on the gas and carpool with eachother or other friends and everyone takes turn driving or pitches in gasoline. You can also leave the car at home due to rising gasoline prices and take the bus or ride a bike (to the store, to classes). Both you and the BF should sit down ASAP and write a list of things you buy every month, your normal bills, your expenses and start crossing off the list and cutting down from what you do not really need. Stay away from take out and fast food. It is surprising how FAST it all adds up. Good luck and hang in there! Plan out a budget and STICK TO IT.
