Considering the current state of the global economy, many of us are wondering how to save money while we are college students. I have gathered a few tips that many of you will find essential. Sometimes we have to swallow our pride and use those good ol' coupons. Personally, I actually LOVE coupons and I always walk away from the store with a good feeling inside whenever I use my coupons to save tons of dollars.
Last night, I did some shopping on Victoria's Secret website to purchase a few clothing pieces to take home (St. Kitts) for the Christmas break. I bought over $150 dollars worth of clothing and only paid $53.50 with shipping included. This incredible website (www.retailmenot.com)is literally the best thing since slice bread. I die for it! Anytime I do some online shopping, I always check in with this website for some awesome coupon codes and I always save tons.
Okay, so clothing is minor [not really] haha but what about groceries?!? I'm sure that's what many of you are asking right now. I can bet $1000 [ okay maybe not] that you thought Amazon.com was just for buying books but hey, you better think again!! Amazon is another site that I die for. It is one of my favorite sites EVER! Did you know that you can buy food in bulk on Amazon??? It's an incredible marketplace! You can literally find anything there. Stop going to the grocery every weekend and simply buy in bulk on Amazon.com once a month and have your food delivered right to your door while saving tons of dollars. If that's not amazing stuff, I don't know what is.
Moving along! The major purchases that we make as college students usually involve academic- related material. As much as I hate buying books, they are mandatory to ensure our success in university. Again, the great Amazon.com is the perfect place for this. You can usually find amazing prices on used books and I promise you that you will save tons.
Now generally, we all just love discounted items whether it's clothing, electronics, household items- we just LOVE discount. They give us a great feeling inside that can have us smiling for days. There is an incredible site called CouponChief where you can find discount and promo codes for over 8000 stores in the United States. It's a great deal! A college student couldn't ask for a better site. It's a college student's dream! They cater to merchants such as BestBuy, Abercrombie & Fitch, Forever21, Amazon.com and over 8000 more. Imagine getting anything and everything you need discounted. The money you can save with CouponChief is just unbelievable. Visit CouponChief before you purchase anything on the web because I guarantee that you will save money.
