Bargain £20 Breville Blender on Amazon and fruit hall at the Lincoln Market

Browsing the web for a good cheap health product is not easy. However, I have come across the little gen that is Breville Blend Active on Amazon for £20.
Although most people are saving up for the highly sought after Nutri-Bullet that retails at £99, this product does the same job and in my eyes is the perfect student buy.
The product comes with two bottles for on the go use. The great thing about it is that you fill the bottle with any fruit and vegtables you wish and you blend straight in the bottle. Less cleaning which is music to any student's ears and quick for those 9am lectures that you may be running late for, keeping you fuelled for the day.
The healthy lifestyle is expensive, let alone when you are a student who is trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
When you join university you come across something called the fresher 15. This means it is expected that you will either lose 15lb or put on 15lb during your time as a fresher.
There is so much cheap, easy, tasty food available to you, that living the healthy lifestyle doesn't seem achievable.
However, you do not have to become another victim of the fresher 15, there is plenty of cheap, fresh, meat, fruit and vegatables that you can buy from Lincoln Market. The best part is you can freeze it and leave it for later.
I was only at the start of my second year that I discovered the market in the town centre and boy do I wish I had a website like this informing me of it. Not only would I have saved money, I would have made some healthier choices too.
They have every type of fruit and vegetable you could think of. Strawberries, blueberries, every type of berry.
I used to buy fruit and vegetables in supermarkets. A punnet of strawberries would cost me £3, yet I bought some at the market for £1. I was absolutley thrilled.
