How far have you gone to stop your housemates stealing your food at uni?
We’ve all been there haven’t we? Loan comes in and we get so excited, we finally go to ‘big Tesco’s’ and buy everything in sight! But when our cheeky housemates open the fridge and see our supplies enough to feed an army, they just help themselves like it’s no biggie! Or we have spent our loans and are living like a poor person surviving on baked beans, to which our house mates then help themselves to the last tin so you have to live off water, it get can get pretty annoying!
Well, some of us here at Glide have experienced this throughout our uni years and have therefore dug up 5 tops tips to stop your housemates from helping themselves to your goods.
- Add food coloring to milk.
If they think it’s mouldy or looks weird, they won’t want to go near it!
2. Label Label Label
Mark your territory by labeling everything and hope for the best that it works!
3. Get a mini fridge!
And put a lock on it, no one is getting in there then!
4. Treats Box- everyone needs one!
Every treat that you buy, put in a treat box and store it under your bed!
5. Talk to your housemates
And if all else fails, speak to the people who keep helping themselves! Communication really is, sometimes key!
Hopefully our tips work a treat and you get to eat all your food before your housemates do! But remember, actually communicating with your housemates is a lot easier and will save friendships. If you have any top tips that have worked for you, why not let us know on Twitter or Facebook!
