College life can be stressful β€” loans, textbooks and living on a budget can take a toll. The good news: There are lots of discounts for students, but, sometimes, you have to know where to look to find them.

Students can get at least 10-15% off everything from retail to entertainment to food, unlocking hundreds of dollars in discounts.

Some food stores and restaurants offer 10% discounts, but delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash also have deals.

Looking for tech items? Apple and Samsung offer discounts on certain smart products, while the Adobe Creative Cloud Plan gives 60% off to students for the first year. Be sure to check out savings from AT&T and Verizon, too.

If you need a study break, hit the entertainment deals from Hulu, Apple Music, YouTube, Spotify and Pandora, which all offer savings, some between 50-75%.

For $7.49 a month, head over to Amazon Prime Student for video and music, along with free delivery and deals on flights and hotels. 

Keep in mind, students normally have to verify their status with an academic or dot-EDU email β€” or with proof of enrollment.

For discounts on clothes look no further than Levi’s, Madewell, J.Crew, Nike and Target.

And it pays to do well in school in more ways than one: Many car insurance companies offer a discount if you maintain good grades (a β€œB” average or better). And if you’re a student staying 100 miles or more away from home, you may be eligible for even more discounts!
