College is expensive…no one can dispute that. While renting your textbook is a great way to save money, I recognize it may not be enough for your readers. Here are some saving tips for college students that are a great start for your next post. Grab the ones that you feel will speak to your followers best and add your own flare and personality.
- Don’t Buy Rent. include your Chegg textbook rental link here in your text. Also, include banners on the sidebar
- Review the meal plan. Will you really eat in the cafeteria? Make sure you are honest with yourself
- Ditch the car. save on parking and gas. most things are in walking distance on campuses
- Chegg Study. Save money on campus tutors and sign up for Chegg Study instead. At only $14.99/month, you get all your questions answered in the community
- Chegg Tutor. Need one on one help? Chegg Tutor is an affordable way to get answers for your late-night questions. Pay only for the time you use.
- Limit eating out
- Save money on your laptop. Check with your parents to see if their company offers employee discounts. Shop sales.
- Take advantage of campus amenities such as an on-campus free gym or free movie nights
- Shop wisely. Many places offer student discounts such as The Gap and Jcrew.
- Work your student discount options. In addition to clothes, student discounts can be found for public transportation, restaurants, movie theaters and more.
- Always pay your bills on time to avoid late fees. Most places have the ability to set up an auto-pay.
- Pay off your credit cards. Credit card companies are known for targeting college students and not with friendly interest rates. Don’t turn that $10 pizza delivery into a $100 meal with interest fees
- Ditch the cable. Streaming options such as Netflix or Hulu are less expensive. Or hit Redbox for your movie fix.
- The library is your friend. There is no need to buy books or even magazines when you have a public library nearby. Most libraries have the ability to download books, magazines, and music as well.
- Don’t use it anymore. Sell it on Craig’s List and earn some extra cash.
- While pets can be an awesome companion, they are also expensive and a great responsibility. Save pet ownership until after your degree
- Consider becoming a resident advisor. Be a mentor to younger classman and save on room and board.
- Still, have textbooks lying around from last year? Sell them back on Chegg for some extra cash
- Have a need for caffeine? Ditch the Starbucks and buy a coffee maker instead. or better yet, split the cost with your roommate
- Buy generic. The packaging may not be as pretty but the savings sure are. Buy generic whenever possible from food to toiletries
