The items are as follows;

Alex Gallagher, Chief Marketing Officer at UNiDAYS said:
Value for money is one of the biggest concerns for those studying away from home. Tuition fees and rent is just one part of this equation, and based on what they are actually buying, we can see how the costs can stack up across different parts of the country.
At UNiDAYS we know finding savings on these modern-day essentials is important to students, and our mix of partners will help them do that and make their money go further in the upcoming term and throughout their student life.
We at College Times have put together another list of items they should price check:
- Tea bags
- Spice bag
- Dioralyte
- Cheeky Naggin
- Skins
- Chicken Fillet Roll
- 3 Jagerbombs
- Rashers & Sausages
- The last bus into town
- Printing a last minute Thesis
We contacted UNiDAYS to see if they would do an Irish version of their study with these items, but they have yet to respond.
