1. Group your errands together

Make a list of all the places you need to go that are in a small vicinity of each other. By grouping all your errands into the same time slot each week you can save money on gas. I normally run my errands on Sunday so that way I am prepared for my week ahead.

2. Couponing

Couponing is a great way to save money. Start by searching in your local newspaper or online. I personally love using online discount codes.

3. Take Public Transit

A lot of college towns and cities offer buses and other forms of public transit. These are a good and cheaper way of traveling for errands. You also get the benefit of saving your own gas.

4. Thrifting or "Going Vintage"

Shopping at thrift stores can save you so much money on clothes and etc. If you having basic sewing skills you can also upcycle your thrifty finds into something of your own style.I personally love thrift shopping. There is nothing like the feeling of finding a one of a kind piece that you can tailor to your own needs and not spend a boatload of money.

5. Start a budget

I know this sounds a little to adultish for a college student but it can actually save you from overspending. Start by planning a basic budget on how much you need to put toward necessities like phone bills, and groceries. Then you can use the extra to put towards fun things like going to the movies or even saving the extra cash.

6. Use cash only

This is probably one of the hardest for me personally. We are all addicted to swiping our cards because it is so easy to do. But by using your card you lose track of how much you should actually spend. When you use cash you are more conscious of how much you are actually spending and will more than likely spend less.
