College living is hard. Trying to get that paper in on time, making it to ALL of your classes, AND surviving on a college kid's budget. Sometimes, you have a little extra money to get some new clothes, but you don't want to just spend that hard earned cash frivolously. Here are 5 ways to shop where you can stretch your money and get tons of cool items for cheaper than department store prices.
1. American Eagle
As 'basic' as AE can be, they really do have some good deals. Instead of going in store or shopping the regular items, shop the clearance! They always have tons of adorable tops and shorts and jeans starting at like ten bucks. Plus, their tees are so soft and cozy.
2. Amazon
This is the perfect place to get your odds and ends. The basics, like socks, leggings, and tees, are so easy to find and so cheap. It is perfect for if you need an obscure piece for a themed sorority date night.
3. Target
Obviously… But for real… Target always had such cool and unique pieces perfect for game day or just an easy effortless outfit.
4. Thrifting
This is such a cost effective way to get some adorable (and sometimes vintage) items for your closet. Plus, it is so fun!!
5. Anywhere That Has A Student Discount
Always ask for a student discount at the register or google the shop and find a coupon code for students! There have been so many times that I have saved money just for asking.
So next time you've got some money burning a hole in your pocket, don't go running for the mall. Try these shops and methods to make your money last longer!
