7 Surprising Places You'll Get A Discount With Your Student ID
It's no surprise that most college students are broke. College tuition seems to be increasing every year. Not to mention, the added costs of textbooks, access codes, student organizations, school supplies, and general living totally drain our pockets. It's easy to feel like you're spending with no end in sight, and after awhile, it can really start to take a major toll on your wallet. But don't throw in the towel just yet, because there are many stores with a student discount you can take full advantage of.
College? Discounts? Yeah, I thought that would grab your attention. You'd be surprised how much power that little swipe card has outside of your campus grounds. I know, a discount doesn't help a ton if you don't have money to spend in the first place, but you'd be surprised what discounts you can get on things that are already on your school shopping list.
As time goes on, more and more stores are beginning to offer discounts. Wherever you shop, it's best to do a quick check to save yourself 10 percent. Everything counts, right? Next time you're shopping, keep your ID close at hand. These seven discounts are too good to pass up.
