Living on a Budget

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Arizona chapter.

If you’re like me, you are an average college student who is, as they say, “ballin’ on a budget.” With the holidays coming up, it is prime time to start saving money. Wondering how? Below I will list 5 ways to save money in college by using Groupon, and trust me – Groupon will be a game changer for you.

1.  Travelocity

With thanksgiving and winter break coming up, whether you are travelling home or on vacation, plane tickets are a necessity. We all know how expensive flights can be. On Groupon, you can find tons of amazing deals for Travelocity and save more money than you can imagine!

3. Neiman Marcus

Whether you are looking to buy your significant other a nice Christmas present, or buying a last minute gift in hopes that it will arrive in time for the Holidays, Groupon has your back. You can buy a coupon that is worth up to $100 off, or free 2-day shipping so that you won’t have to stress about your package coming late!

4. Food

Staying healthy in college can be a challenge because we no longer have our parents around to make us those delicious home cooked meals, or telling us what and what not to eat. Buying healthy foods also tends to be more expensive, and could put a large dent in your wallet. Groupon features two coupons that caught my eye to help this situation. You can get up to $139 off delivered meals from HelloFresh. HelloFresh delivers fresh ingredients to you along with recipes that teach you step-by-step how to prepare them. With this package you will have healthy home-cooked meals in around just 30 minutes! Another coupon that is a steal is the Juice Cleanse package. If you’re looking to detox and lose a little weight, check out this package on Groupon.com!

5. JBL Speaker

If you’re like me, you like to blast music when your friends come over before going out, and have a good time. If you’re lacking a good sound system, check out the coupon on Groupon.com for the JBL Flip 2 Wireless Portable Stereo Speaker for $79.99, originally $129.99. One of my friends has this exact speaker and you will not regret this purchase.
