Budget Shopping

Whether you have a tight budget or you want to save up some money for you to travel more around the UK and Europe. There are a few stores that we were told by our seniors that you can get items for as low as £1.

We do not know exactly where this stores are located but our seniors said they will show us around when we reach SHU, so there's not much to worry about.

These are the few stores that are at our "disposal" : 99p store, Poundland and Netto.

Hand Carry Luggage

I was told by the MSL agent that we could bring a max of 7kg for hand carry luggage excluding laptop.
