fresher tipid tips

Hi, since most threads here are regarding salary grades and shits abt landing a job. Tipid tips naman po tayo for those who already got their first job coming from province like me and moving to mnl. Things such as what to consider when selecting a dorm aside from dapat malapit sa office, hindi binabaha, safe, at malapit sa market and other tipid tips like pamimile ng groceries or commute. Tips that are not usual but you think could prove useful in the long run

(sorry if magulo)
