Between tuition bills, piles of textbooks, food costs, and supplies, being a college student is definitely not cheap. Lucky for you, there are loads of businesses that think you deserve a budgeting break.
Whether you need food, clothing, school supplies, or anything else, you're bound to find a student deal to help bring the price down. Memberships like Amazon and Walmart offer student accounts, and food delivery options like DoorDash, Hello Fresh, and Blue Apron are happy to feed you at a discount. If you often find yourself shopping at the same business, it's worth looking into any deals you might get as a student.
Technology is an important part of getting your assignments done to the best of your ability. If you're in the market for a new laptop or other device, check out what Apple or Microsoft have to offer, since they often have educational discounts. If you need software support, Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Cloud are happy to get you set up with the latest applications at a discount.
However far away you are going to school, you'll inevitably need to make your way home a few times a year. Make sure you check out different airlines and Amtrak to get the best possible price on travel tickets. It might mean that you can afford to travel more often!
You may be spending a lot of time in class and studying, but fun is important, too. Look into local attractions, such as movie theaters, miniature golf, gyms, and fares to see if they offer a discounted price for students. Lots of streaming services and apps (like Headspace) also offer special pricing.
