Personal comments
I recommend to buy food in big supermarkets (Prisma, Liedl, some products in Alepa). Besides, each nightclub offers "Happy Hours" once a week when beer or cider costs only 1 euro. It is also good to buy kitchen pots in second-hand shops (ex. we bought a frying pan for 1 euro, a pot for 50 eurocents and so on...)

Finland has a cost of life much more expensive than Portugal. Another point is the way they manage the pubs and bars, because people are obliget to pay arround 10€ to get into the pubs and also onligated to pay plus 2€ to leave the jacket on the closet...not even mentioning that then people will consume some beverage which rises the price of the nightlife.

Personal comments
It was suppose I have internet since the first day because it make part of the rent, still they took 1 month and half to solve my situation and the housing responsibles (HOAS) and the internet company (Sonera) couldn't understand each other, moreover they lay all the time throw that period saying that in the follow day or week my internet connection would be established and I had to call every single day, at least twice per day remembering them about their fault and that the contract I signed mentioned internet facilities. So, I spend arround 600€ in mobil phone calling to my country in order to talk with my family and with my university. Besides that it was a waiste of time that i couldnt make internet research at home or advance my assignments, so I also spent more money travelling t go to the university. Surprising isn't it?!
