Businesses that Offer Student Discounts and Deals

Sometimes it feels as though college students can never catch a break. It can feel as though you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Student loans, essays, exams, studying, balancing work and school, and social life? At times it may seem impossible.

When I was a student, the smallest things would bring me joy because I was constantly dealing with the everyday stresses that came along with earning my degree. So when I was asked “Are you a student” at a restaurant or business, my face would light up!

With that being said, here is a list of restaurants and businesses that will offer you a discount when you show proof that you’re a student.

  1. Amazon: Students are eligible for free two-day shipping for 6 months. This is perfect for when you need to order school supplies or textbooks!
  2. Jo-Ann Fabrics: Are you an art student? Or perhaps you need supplies for a class project. Jo-Ann fabrics offers a 10% discount, but only when you sign up for their student rewards program.

What is listed above is a small fraction of the businesses out there that will give students a deal.

These businesses are looking to give them just that.
