College students rarely possess loads of money. Most students take advantage of any financial help they can get, including various discounts that student ID can award them. School supplies, books, groceries, and clothing are necessities and it feels good when you can get them without paying full price.

Student loans, housing payments or a full time job, besides studies, can add some serious stress, so it’s very important to use every opportunity to save. While many retailers and merchants vie for student business with various discounts, not all of them are worthy of you time. Let’s take a look at 50 that can really make a difference:
