Yes, you can eat healthy on a modest budget. Yes, in Victoria. And yes, I did just walk out of Blenkinsop/McKenzie's grocer The Root Cellar with three bags of groceries amounting to $15 - the price of the 2.5 pounds of red peppers had I bought them at Thriftys.
So wait, you say. There's hope?
Yep!
Welcome to Starving Students Victoria, a place where you can come to get tips and tricks for groceries, dining out and entertainment on a low budget in B.C.'s Capitol City. Whether you're from across the country or right here at home, I want to provide you with things you didn't know and things you may have forgotten. I'm going to give you up-to-date information on the cheapest places to stuff your face and exercise your legs, to entertain your minds and kill your livers - er, drink in moderation. Grocery specials, pub menus, hiking trails - I hope to give hope you can have fun even if you've only lint in your wallets.
I also want to extend this further than a consumer blog. Being someone who has $40,000 in student loans (and I'm not done yet), I know how difficult it can be to conduct your academic life alongside a job and constant debt worry. I want to explore how the government is helping students, what you can do to help, and what kind of events are going on where you can get more information. School should not be a debt sentence. It should be available for anyone and everyone who has the will to buckle down and study hard.
So there we go! Enjoy the tips for living and my thoughtful commentary on this crazy thing called a 'Starving Student.' Cheers!
