What are the first thoughts that come through a college student’s mind daily? No, not how our life will be maxed out with stress. The main thing students think about is “what am I going to eat today?”. Often, as students, we don’t have the funds to constantly buy take out. So why not buy all of our food at one time and cook from time to time. This will save money from month to month and even help improve cooking skills. The cost of groceries could range, depending on what a student likes to eat. However, there are some locations in Greensboro that have tons of savings.
