All of these items mentioned can be found in various shops like Asda, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Tesco, Wilkinsons, Argos and Poundland. These stores always have items specific for students around this time of year and even have whole sections based around going back to uni so you are sure to find whatever you need. Argos has a value range where you can find toasters, kettles, cutlery, pans and baking trays for extremely good prices. You can buy a kettle for £5! For £19.99 you could get a 20 piece kitchen essentials set which includes saucepans, frying pans, utensils and baking trays. As well as all of this you can also find some great deals at IKEA. You can get coat hangers to go over your door (a great space saver!) for less than £5, a toilet brush for £2, a set of storage baskets for £3.50 and much more!
