So what we did is come up with some ideas to save money on few things.

This is quite interesting to say the least.Some of these tips can also be useful to non students.

* Shop wisely -Big box retailers are great sources of basics like bedding and kitchen supplies. Keep your eye on the weekly ads to get an even better deal.

* Take advantage of student discounts – Some computer manufacturers offer discounts to students on hardware and software. Your school may also have a discount program with manufacturers.

* Use your student I.D. – Many businesses offer student discounts or special student nights. Check local restaurants and movie theaters to find these deals.

* Put technology to work – Students can save on their long-distance phone bills by using a voice over IP (VoIP) network like voip.com that provides telephone service via a broadband computer connection. The company’s $19.95 premium calling plan provides unlimited local and long distance calling anywhere in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The plan includes voicemail, call waiting, caller I.D. and call forwarding. You can try the service free for 31 days. Just visit voip.com to take advantage of this offer.

* Shop and save – Buying a coffee on the way to class everyday or heading to the local pizza joint for a late-night snack can add up. Set your alarm so you can make a pot of coffee and grab a cup as you head to class. And keep a stash of snacks on hand as well.
