There are some really great resources out there to help college students save money on their purchases both online and offline, locally and nationally. If you have any good links or recommendations post them below!
I recommend
StudentRate - Home for retail and food discounts. It's free to sign up and there are some serious offers.
For college books, check out
Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more - it's usually a lot cheaper. Our campus bookstore is owned by Barnes and Noble and often puts a heavy markup on required reading materials.
