32 Student Discounts That'll Save You Big Bucks

It’s that back-to-school time of year, which means spending big bucks so you’re all set for the upcoming semester. So that you don’t break the bank, you gotta take advantage of student discounts. There are tons out there, from your favorite retailers to your favorite tech products. And who doesn’t love getting freebies just for being a college student?

NOTE: A lot of these discounts require you to sign up through Unidays or Student Beans. For both services, you can sign up for free as long as you can prove your student status with your institution’s email address and you meet the age requirement (you gotta be 16 or older). If you’re shopping in-store, you’ll need to pull out your student ID.
