6 Little Ways To Save And Earn $$ That Can Go A Long Way

In This Article:

Going to college in America is expensive and I have some ways for you to save on expenses such as food and fashion so you don't feel guilty spending money on things that make you feel better!

Download food apps, take advantage of their rewards systems.

Name a food chain or convenience store and they most likely have an app on that you can download, make an account for, and collect points and work towards rewards. Food chains such as Chipotle, Starbucks, Dunkin', and countless more have applications. Also, food services such as Grubhub, Postmates, and Ritual offer many discounts to smaller businesses.

Student Discounts.

Always keep your student ID on you and make it a habit to ask for student discounts every time you go shopping, it never hurts to ask! There are also websites such as UNiDays and StudentBeans that give you specific codes to some websites such as H&M and ASOS for a discount.

Check your receipts!

Unless we're making a big purchase or plan on returning something, we often discard our receipts or sometimes we don't even collect them at the register. You're potentially throwing away opportunities to save or earn money! Auntie Anne's gives you a buy one get one free pretzel if you fill out a survey and return with a verification code! Other stores like Walgreen's and TJMaxx have surveys that enter you for a chance to win money! The chances of you winning might be slim, but it doesn't hurt to try!

Use up your punch cards.

Punch cards, most often used in coffee shops, are an incentive to keep customers coming back. Utilize these and punch out your cards to work towards a free coffee or pastry!

Download apps that are made for saving money!

Groupon, RetailMeNot, and Rakuten are just some examples of apps that are specifically designed to help you save money! They exist, so why not use them?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
