3) Amazon Prime Student
I'm sure by this point everyone reading this already knows about Amazon and Amazon Prime so I'll skip on a description. Amazon Prime Student, however, is great if you're trying to save money but want the benefits of prime. You get your first 6 months free of charge and after that you only pay 50% of a regular Prime membership!
4) Google Chrome Extension
For those of you who don't know about Chrome extensions, they are small software programs that enhance the functionality of the browser. One of my favorites is called Honey. This particular extension scours the internet for any and all active discount codes when you visit any online store. It tells you the number of codes, how long they have been active, and what the chance is that it will work for you. It has definitely helped me out a couple of times.
5) The Internet!
Lastly, there is always the internet itself! I had no idea that you could get discounted car insurance, cell phone plans, and even restaurant discounts. There are a bunch of different sites that list the many discounts available to student, it all depends on what you search for. Here are some that I found for you: 60 Awesome Student Discounts, 100+ Stores That Give Students Discounts, 101 Student Discounts.
