3. Take advantage of those lovely student discounts
Student discounts are available for lots of things. When buying books, food, computers,
and other things get the most for your money with student discounts.
4. Do some research before you buy a book
Books for classes can be expensive. Not all places will sell them for the same price
Before you buy a book look at your options. Sometimes you can get a book at a
cheaper price if it is used, or online.
5. Watch your meals
It can be easy to spend all of your
money on meals without noticing
it. Learn to cook and prepare
your own meals so that this
doesnt happen. Only eat out
once in a while.
6. Stock up on goods when you're at home
Although you may not live with your
parents full time, that doesn't mean they
can't help you out.
Take advantage of the trips home, and get
what you need.
