Here are some extra tips from Everest for more effective budgeting:

• Explore Free Activities

Dublin offers lots of free or low-cost activities and events. Take advantage of parks, museums with student discounts, and cultural events that won’t strain your budget.

On the website eventbrite.ie, you can check what’s going on and also filter for free events.

• Student Discounts

Don’t forget to check for student discounts! Lots of places in Dublin, like shops, restaurants, and entertainment spots, have special rates. Just keep your student ID handy.

• Budget Supermarkets

Local supermarkets and mini markets can be very expensive. We recommend doing your weekly grocery shopping in the big discount supermarkets like Lidl and Aldi for the best value.

• School Social Activities

Keep an eye on our school’s social calendar; we normally announce 2 free or low-cost events per week for our amazing students!
