Student Survival Guide… Turns Out You Do Need a Bin.
Moving into halls? Starting university? Or simply realising your parents weren’t joking when they said you’d need more than clothes?
Whether you’re a first-year fresher or returning for another year, St Johns Shopping Centre has everything you need to get your student accommodation sorted – without blowing your maintenance loan on day one.
Better still, with £8 all-day parking, you can load up on the essentials and take your time shopping in the heart of Liverpool.
Make Your Room Feel Like Home
Let’s be honest – student rooms aren’t exactly known for their luxury.
Fresh bedding, a few soft furnishings and some cosy touches can make all the difference. Pick up a stylish duvet cover set from Home Bargains for just £9.99, add a comfy cushion from Matalan for £12, and don’t forget a set of towels from Matalan, starting from £5.
It’s the quickest way to make your new room feel a little more like home.
The Things Nobody Reminds You To Buy
You remembered your phone charger… but what about a bin?
Avoid the late-night dash to the shops and grab those everyday essentials before you move in. Find a bin at Home Bargains for £16.99, a cleaning spray from One Beyond for just £1, and a colander from One Beyond for £2 for those slightly more ambitious dinners than instant noodles.
Future you will be grateful.
Kitchen Essentials Without the Price Tag
Whether you’re planning to cook every night or just convincing yourself you will, it’s worth having a few basics.
Start with a pan set from Argos for just £10, perfect for everything from pasta to beans on toast.
And for those nights when cooking feels like too much effort, stock up on noodle pots from Aldi from just £0.69 and cereal from only £0.99. Student staples for a reason.
Ready to Study
University isn’t just about decorating your room.
If you’re looking for affordable tech, Argos has laptops available from £179, making it easier to stay on top of lectures, assignments and the occasional late-night essay.
Everything You Need, All in One Place
From bedding and cookware to cleaning products, food and tech, St Johns Shopping Centre has your student essentials covered.
Whether you’ve forgotten something important or you’re starting from scratch, you’ll find everything you need under one roof.
Visit St Johns Shopping Centre before term starts and get your student life off to the best possible start. Your future flatmates will thank you… especially if you’re the one who remembered the bin.
