Life in Kassel is cheap.

If you are in a student accomodation provided by the university you could wash your clothes up there. Washing should be around two euros and drying around one.

Glasses and plastic bottles have a price here, the cost of a glass should be 1 euro and plastic bottle 50 cts so once you finish them you have some money back by giving it to the waiter.

• Supermarket

Germany is the country of hard discounts, near the university campus you can go to Aldi or Lidl.

• Doctor

A visit to the doctor is quite cheap in Germany, it should be around 10 euros.

• Haircut

A haircut in Kassel is quite cheap if you go to places managed by Turquish hair dressers. You will find many of those and they cost only 10 €. I tried it and results were good they even spoke to me in English so I did not have to make many efforts in German.
