Like any other country in the world, the UK has its expensive and less expensive areas. Generally speaking, wherever students are gathered together, there will be an opportunity for cheap shopping.
Most shops are open from 9am to 6pm except local shops, which may have less predictable opening hours. Bargaining is not customary and you are expected to pay the price marked on the goods. You are also expected to queue for service if a shop is busy.
Supermarkets and street markets are the cheapest places to buy food, with some stores open 24 hours a day, six days a week. If you are looking for food from your home country, cities such as London , Birmingham , Leicester, Manchester and Liverpool have districts with plenty of Asian, Caribbean or African food shops. |
