Money Saving Tips for College Students

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

As college students, I know we all struggle with not having much money. Here are some tips to save money or even make some easy money!

 

  1. Sell your old clothes on Poshmark or to Plato’s Closet

2. Stop spending money on Starbucks every morning

If you’re one who needs coffee, try making your coffee at home, it will save you a lot of money in the long run. $4 everyday adds up!

3. Next time you’re shopping, stop and think “Do i really need this?”

Every time I would go out and shop and see something on sale I would immediately pick it up just because it’s a good deal, but then I would notice things in my room just starting to pile up. Now I actually stop and think if this is something I actually need and will use, or if it is just going to lay around.

 

4. Give yourself a Weekly budget

Based on how much money you have/ are willing to spend, set a budget for yourself for every week and be strict on not letting yourself go over it.
