3 Ways To Shop On A Budget, Even If It's The Last Thing You Want To Do

In This Article:

College students will try just about anything and everything to save a buck or two. Online shopping is a way, a good amount of college students, to pass time. We scroll through endless pages of clothing, shoes, and accessories seeing what catches our eye, while we wait for our 8 am class to be over. As your search, for things that you don't need begins, you realize that by the end of the class your cart is completely full and your total is in the hundreds. Whether it be that you love to receive packages, or needed a little retail therapy session, these three money-saving sites can make a big difference.

UNiDAYS

UNiDAYS focuses on brands that give students discounts. They have partnered up with more than 150 brands to make it easier for students to shop. This site is strictly for students and they offer the best discounts. All you have to do is sign up with your school email, verify your email and start shopping. They as well offer services to keep students updated with pop culture, politics etc. Students can take quizzes and become guest bloggers or receive some college advice.

Honey

Honey helps everyone, students or not, save some money. It is a free application one can easily download onto their computer. Honey saves you the hassle of having to look for promo codes. With just a click from a button, it searches for all the promo codes one can use and it applies the one that will save you the most money. Once you have downloaded Honey to one of your browsers, once you're ready to check out all you have to do is press the little "H" button and let Honey do its job.

AfterPay Touch

Personally, Afterpay touch is my favorite. Partnering up with some of your favorite brands, Afterpay allows you to shop all the latest trends without breaking the bank all at once. If a retailer has Afterpay, when you're ready to checkout you can pay your total in full or it will give you the option to do Afterpay. The way it works is that it splits your bill in four. Every two weeks from when you make your purchase you pay a little off your bill. So if your bill it $250 you will make four payments of $62.50, and as long as you pay on time you won't get charged a late fee. And no worries about when you will receive your package because they ship it out as if you would have paid in full.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
