Five Ways to Save Money in College
If you haven't noticed by now there is always something you need for school. Whether it's a supporting book to the other book you already spent a fortune on or money to replace that lost calculator someone else is now enjoying. Lucky for you, there is always an opportunity to save money but you just have to know how to seize it.
1. Go in groups.
It's just a part of college life to hang out in groups, so reap the benefits of it. Go in with your friends and make purchases. Share a warehouse membership (Sam's Club, Costco, BJ, etc.), go Deutch on the membership fee, and always purchase your items together. This way you would have saved on your membership fees, grocery bill, and on gas ( look into $35.00 student memberships SamsClub ) . Planning a spring break trip or visit back home? Go in groups (of at least ten), get group vacation discounts that save you money and quite frankly make the trip more enjoyable.
2. Get "all-around" tools.
As a student you are pulled in so many directions by school, work, family, and everything else in between, so you need tools that are suitable for such a hectic and versatile lifestyle. When appropriate, opt for tools that aren't so specific to a certain subject, event, or class. For instance, instead of getting a specific "school" calendar , get the calendar that will fit your entire work, school, and personal schedule. For those dreadful tests, instead of getting a tool specifically focused on that one subject, get a tool that will help you study all of your subjects or prepare for work-related training ( look into mobile study tool Cram ) .
Before you buy, get a clear understanding of the features you are looking for in the "right tool". You want to make sure this tool will really help you in your studies. There is no need to pay twice for the same thing, get the right tools the first time so you can use them during your entire collegiate career and beyond.
3. Use your student discount.
You would be more than surprised at what you could get using your student discount. From free oil changes and entry to concerts, to discounted software and hair cuts . All you need to know is where to find them. Checking with your school's Student Affairs Office, Alumni Services, or Student Goverment Associations are a few places to start, but please don't forget checking your student paper. Asking your friends is another way to save your dough, but simply asking your local merchant about their student discount, most often is enough. Just make sure you keep your student id with you!
4. Be Green.
"Being Green" is more than the right thing to do, it can also save you some money. Recycling can save you in trash pickup fees (for those off-campus students) and can get you some CASH. Take the cans to the nearest recycling center and rake in your well deserved change; just don't expect this to pay for your entire college tuition, they only pay a few cents per can ( nearest recycling centers @ Earth 911 ). Also, write or print on the back of those 20 page terms papers after they are returned to you to save paper. Walk, carpool, or bike to class to save gas and vehicle maintenance fees, setup e-statements for your student bank account (they usually provide some sort of incentive), and when you need ink for your printer, get it refilled, this could save you almost 80% on ink ( cheap inkjet refills @ Walgreens ) .
5. Get it used.
You always hear about purchasing used books over and over again, but everyone always forgets everything else you can get used. Buy used clothes, computers, cars, furnishings for the dorm, you name it and you most likely can get it used, but be careful not to pick just any old thing up. Make sure what you are getting is clean, current, and in great shape, you will waste more time, money, and energy if you get something you will have to replace in just a few months ( check Freecycle, Craigslist ) .
Put on your thinking caps, you are college students now. There are so many creative ways to save your money besides your daily diet of ramen. As the now cliche Nike slogan goes 'Just Do It'. Trust me, it will save you mulla.
