Student and Teacher Discounts

AI generated Back to school text

Every year around this time, I do an audit of my recurring subscriptions to see what expenses I can cut and new things I may be interested in. This is particuarlly important around the start of the school year when people start new programs, move locations, and just want to gear up for the new year.

I always tell people to check for discounts with their cellphone service provider and, if you live in a college town, check for back-to-school discounts at local retailers. Thankfully, Wired Magazine has put together a general list of shops, services, and subscriptions to check out—including their own subscription. Most of them apply to students as well as teachers.

I would also add, most graduate students find themselves employeed by the university and therefore qualify for many of “teacher” related discounts.

If you’re looking for the best price year-round, I also recommend checking out slickdeals.net for tech. You can see expired deals so you know if the current price for your ideal headphones are a steal or worth waiting for. Finally, if you’re looking for “the best” product of any category, the crew at Wirecutter has the best curated list on the internet.
