I love this! I started college as a traditional student and then graduated from a nontraditional program, but one of the best ways that I found to save money in college was actually a way to make some money! Selling textbooks has long been a go-to way for students to put a down payment on the next semester of books, but it requires scouring the web to find the best prices. I used to follow this process until I discovered Book Scouter, a website that compares all places buying a book, the prices that each place is paying, and the historical prices for the same book. All you do is type in the ISBN number–it’s that easy! Hubby and I do this with books that we’ve decided not to keep. It’s made us hundreds of dollars over the past few years!

We have had Republic Wireless now for a few years and love it! We pay around $53 a month (that’s for both of us) and we have unlimited everything. There is no contract. Its also great for college students because there is no credit check or deposit. We have had several friends have also started using them as well.

My husband has decided to go back to school, so I will definitely be referring to your list.

These family plans from Walmart are such a great idea! My first phone was a pay-as-you go one (it probably cost like $50 a month at least), then I got another phone plan that was $60 a month, not a smart phone, and it had terrible service! I’m so glad there are more options that are cheaper now.

Great tips for saving money in college though! Thanks for sharing my college student discount list 🙂

I have Straight Talk which is also a phone service from Walmart and I love it. I’m sure their family plans are just as good (and cheap!)

In reply to Josh. I don't know. Maybe you should ask him, Josh. ;)

Why is your dumb husband using a calculator app on “his” phone when there is clearly a much better calculator on the table?
