A Lesson Everyone Should Learn

If you know me, you might know that I love to save money. Times are tough. I don't really care who you are, everyone has been affected by the recession in some way, shape or form. With college coming up, so are a lot of expenses, some vital, some necessary, some that seem like one of the other two, the list goes on. One of the best ways to save money in college is going to be in your ID slot.

Your college ID can save you loads of money. No joke!

For example, I was in the Plato's Closet on Dawsonville Highway and saw where they give a 10% discount to Brenau, Gainesville State, and North Georgia students. I know it doesn't seem like a lot at the time but every little bit counts. Even more so if shop there a lot.

If you're the crafty type, JoAnn's has a 10% off discount card for college students. It's good on every purchase you make and doesn't expire for a year (or something like that).

I was a local thrift store and asked if they had discounts for college students. The cashier said they didn't but gave me one anyway!

Moral of the Story: It never hurts to ask. The worst they can do is say no. 

I'm eager to try this at Starbuck's and I know there are lists out there of restaurants that also give discounts.

This lesson also goes the High School students as well. JoAnn's summer program I mentioned earlier was specifically for High School students.
