From keeping the cupboards and fridges full to ensuring toiletries and cleaning supplies are topped up, shopping is essential in shared student housing in Chester.
While living with friends or housemates can keep cost lower, sticking to a budget is often necessary for students. In this blog, we’re looking at some of the best places to shop that leave more money to spend on fun in the city.
Aldi
Renowned for being the most budget-friendly supermarket in the UK, Aldi offers groceries and household items at prices students can stomach. Fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy, cuts of quality meat and canned goods, along with many other essentials, are all affordable here. Chester has three Aldi branches to choose from, including one on Parkgate Road near the university’s main campus, making it perfect for shopping trips after lectures.
Tesco
With an abundance of outlets including “Superstores” and “Extras” in the city, it’s not tricky to find a Tesco in Chester. Among the nation’s most popular supermarkets, Tesco has regular promotions and competitively priced products. From freshly baked goods for breakfasts to vouchers, discounts and deals via its Clubcard, Tesco is a favourite for students seeking extra value and more in their basket for less.
Lidl
Sited on Sealand Road, Chester’s Lidl supermarket is easy to find and open seven days a week. Another low-cost option for students on a budget, Lidl prides itself on offering frequent discounts and deals on frozen food and meat, letting students fill their freezers. However, it also offers weekly promotions on snacks, toiletries and cleaning supplies.
