1. Harness social networking
College students are already well-versed on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and other social media networks, but how many of them use those networks to save money? Liking a business on Facebook or following them on Twitter means students will be informed of the latest promotions or sales. Check local bookstores, car repair shops, clothing stores or other favorite retail outlets for social media pages and get following.
2. Save cans and bottles
Students attending college can earn some extra pocket change by holding on to all those soda cans. If a student’s ambitious enough, s/he can set up a dorm- or apartment-wide collection program to benefit from their neighbors’ aluminum and glass.
