Student advantages - MASSIVE list of all student discounts

Welcome back to Replay Thursday, where I "replay" an oldie - but goodie - savings tip for you...so you don't miss out on any of the good stuff :)

Since it's "back to school" time for many of you, I thought it appropriate to "re-play" this savings tip for students.

Remember, if you don't ASK for deals, you most likely won't GET any deals.
So the moral of this post?
  If you are a student, ask for discounts and deals everywhere you go!

Everywhere, I tell you!

Enjoy :)

When I was in Chicago for Oprah I used my college ID to get a 30% discount at the museum we were visiting. 

30% discount! 

Simply for showing my ID card! 

At first I had asked if there was any type of discount she could give me because I had my baby and we probably wouldn't last in the museum too long. At first she said no, then said, "well, actually, if you are a student you get $6 off." BINGO.

Let's be honest, being a student is expensive! You've got tuition, books, bus fares or gas, food, rent, utilities, dates and play money....it really adds up!

Luckily, as a student you can take advantage of MANY amazing perks. 

Hey, you deserve it. 

At BYU where I went to college students got access to all sorts of great things. Free counseling and career guidance, discounts at local restaurants and stores, free access to computers, labs, equipment, and learning materials, competitions and contests, and tons of free mentoring opportunities.

There are even MORE perks outside of your school boundaries! Whether you are a high school student, college student, or grad student, there are amazing benefits to being...well...a student!

A friend of mine who works at Banana Republic said if you simply mention that you are a teacher or student you get 15% off everything. 

Are you KIDDING ME?? 

Who wouldn't take advantage??

Please remember that the key to getting discounts on things is to BE ASSERTIVE 

(which is the "A" in my F.A.C.T's of saving...check them out HERE if you haven't already!) 

and ask, ask, ask. 

Oh, and ask. 

Trust me, if you don't ask, you won't get....well...anything!
