David was at university and with a low income had to go without many things ( arreglárselas, pasar sin ello). Every month he put 50€  aside for electricity ( save for a purpose)  so that he never ran out of  (quedarse sin ) central heating: actually, he paid for it via a meter in the rented room. He had to get by on 800€ a month ( survive on , cope with) and as a result he  put up with ( tolerate) all sorts of discomforts like having to shop on Saturday evening, just before closing time, when the supermarkets brought down the prices ( lower). He could also count on discounts by reading the local shops´  ads and shopping around ( buy after comparing prices andar a la caza y captura). What he liked most was when brands were promoting products and gave away freebies (give without cost = regalar,  obsequiar). He took full advantage of that.
