Being a Frugal Fanny is Social Acceptable

No matter which way you look at it its hard to find college to be quote on quote "cheap". It is just how it is these days, getting an education is expensive but the money you invest ultimately can land you with a degree to benefit your career. The coined term "broke college kid" is used frequently for a reason. Not only is it the tuition bills all college students pay, but also that point when you are either partially or fully independent and trying to stand on your own two feet financially. Totally normal, but if you feel like you are always breaking your wallet don't stress you aren't alone. A cool thing is that when you are a student, there are LOADS of discounts that you can get! People and businesses understand when paying for your education you try to cut back in other areas.  For an enormous list of places you get discounts at take a look at:

70 Things You Can Score With Your Student ID

There are tons of different deals you can find! These can come from chain stores as well as local businesses. For example, this past weekend a couple of friends and I went to Shelburne Farms (next post so tune in!) and even though we had connections to get free tickets, they have a 50% discount to students who show their ID. That being on the local scale, larger businesses also offer discounts. There is a 10% discount at Charlotte Russe and other clothing stores such as H&M and even J.Crew. Charlotte Russe gets me every time with their 2 for $10 scarves, feeding my scarf addiction.

For all you tech-y's and are loyal to Apple, they offer $200 off on a MacBook, and up to $30 on Ipad when you show your college ID. So for those of you looking to buy a new laptop before heading to school, maybe wait until just after the first day to save you a few bucks! There's plenty of dining places that offer discounts such as Subway and McDonald's offering 10% off. And the most popular deal of all, Amazon never fails to help students out with their Free 2 day shipping for Students program. So don't fret if you are crunching and trying to spend less because there are plenty of place out to help students, being a frugal fanny is absolutely alright!
