More Ways To Save
02.18
Whether you’re looking to save money on groceries or budget travel, we’ve got a few sponsors that can help you out. Click on their images below to learn more about these unique money-saving programs and websites.
If you’re a college student, one of the best ways to save money is by picking up a Student Advantage card. Get discounts of up to 50% on everything from necessities like food, clothing and books to travels home (or for “field trips” on your own), and get $10 back on your first purchase by signing up today. It’s the nation’s largest student discount program, and well worth the price of the card.
Speaking of traveling, if you’re looking for the cheapest way to get to Austin — or anywhere else, for that matter — you should definitely try Hotwire. They’ll do all the hard work of comparison shopping for you, grabbing the best deals from sites like Expedia as well as individual airlines, car rental agencies and hotels to find the most affordable way to get where you’re going and sleep comfortably once you get there.
Buy lots of books? Be sure to check Book Closeouts before you hit up Amazon for all your discount reading needs. With prices slashed up to 80%, you’re likely to find great deals on everything from bestselling fiction to DIY and how-to.
Better yet, you could RENT your books from BooksFree and save a bundle. Described as “the Netflix of books,” you pay $10.99 a month for as many books as you can devour (in audio or paperback version), with free shipping both ways. No more late fees at the library!
If you’re a coupon clipper, be sure to check out Coupons.com for the latest on your favorite name brands. Instead of waiting for a weekly batch of not-so useful coupons to clog up your mailbox, take the savings into your own hands by printing out the coupons you need from the comfort of home. You can even search this site for local deals by typing in your zip code, which will turn up all kinds of coupons for dinners at area restaurants, as well as fun stuff in your neighborhood that you’d actually buy.
And, finally, there’s Groupon – the favorite of bargainistas across the U.S. and Canada. Check their daily deals to score on hyper-local AND national businesses looking to reel you in with great prices.
Reading their wild and crazy descriptions is half the fun; the other half is saving 50% off great restaurants and trying out new businesses you might never have heard of, right in your own backyard.
We hope this helps you score more deals here in Austin, and be sure to check back regularly for more info on how to save.
