Being a college student really puts a strain on a person’s wallet. Between tuition, books, commuting and all the other costs, it can force a student to make some rough financial decisions.
Some good news, however, is that there are plenty of establishments that offer discounts to students. These discounts are not unremarkable either; sometimes, stores offer upwards of 10%, if not more. These stores aren’t just local restaurants but also retail and even internet and cell service providers.
A word of caution: Not every store will participate in these deals, so students looking to take advantage should confirm their local store’s participation before partaking.
One such establishment is Cousin Vinny’s. For readers that like pizza, this should be on one’s radar. Since 2002, Cousin Vinny’s has been a staple pizza in multiple communities across three states.
With such varied choices ranging from an Italian sub to a taco pizza, there is something for everyone’s tastes. For students, they offer a deal in the form of a one-topping pizza for $7 and $3 shipping.
Look up Cousin Vinny’s Website for more information.
At Sinclair, communication is one of the most important things they try to teach the students that are attending. In this digital age, one of the most common forms of communication is through one’s cell phone, but that requires that one pay for their cell service.
This is not a cheap undertaking either, with certain cell plans ranging upwards of $30-$50 a month. Fortunately for those on a budget, AT&T has a deal for students. Students can get $10 off a month with the AT&T unlimited premium plan with 5G coverage included at no extra charge.
A personal computer is a great thing to have at Sinclair Community College, but they are out of reach for many students. It should come with some relief to know that these too can be under a student discount.
A great brand for this is Lenovo; the prices begin affordably, but even then, it might still be outside of the means of most students. To remedy this, Lenovo has a discount for students. This deal allows students to save 5% on select laptops. For more specific information, go to Lenovo’s website.
Coming to school with style can help a student feel better about themselves and that confidence can help in their academics. But fashion is an expensive undertaking. A remedy for this financial burden comes in the form of J. Crew. An outlet store already specializing in discounted prices on classic pieces made of quality materials.
The savings continue if an individual is a student because they are offering to take 15% off of that person’s order for a single order if one presents a valid ID at checkout. For more information, students can visit their website.
Working all day and not taking a moment to oneself is no way to live. Students need a balance of work and leisure, and a movie is the perfect thing to do during one’s leisure. The question then becomes which theater to choose.
AMC is the perfect choice for such an endeavor. It offers a wide selection of movies and locations around Ohio.
The discounts they offer are different depending on the specific movie, so one should check the website before deciding on a film choice.
Students who are feeling the pinch of tuition on their wallets should look to the websites above to see if their local stores take part in these deals. Not every store will take part in these deals, so one needs to check with their local store and take advantage of the discounts to save themselves money.
