Despite the fact that this is a period in my life where I have the least amount of money, I seem to be spending more than ever. Luckily, I can offset my spending habits by discounts provided by clubs like the Student Advantage Card. For a small yearly fee of $20 (which is made up surprisingly quick with the savings the card yields) you have access to their network of over 20,000 locations near your campus, online and across the country. Their network has tons of great stores such as Urban Outfitters for funky vintage t-shirts, Greyhound for bus tickets to get back home on the holidays or AMC Movie Theatres for discounts on shows.

It’s hard to imagine that you won’t be able to make up the $20 membership fee, so other than that, the Student Advantage Card is a solid offer for budget conscience college kids. One of their featured deals is with EMusic.com where you get 35 free songs just for signing up with your Student Advantage Card - that alone is $35 worth of music free.
