Stock Up on Coupons

Coupons, coupons, coupons!

As a bargain shopper, there's nothing I love more than a good coupon.   As a student, you don't have a lot of excess money for going out to eat, getting your hair done, buying groceries, and getting your oil changed in your car.  Luckily, there's coupons!  At the University of Northern Iowa there are plenty of ways to get coupons.  You can easily get the College Coupon books, Campus Special coupon books, and the university planner with coupons in the back.  They hand out all of these for FREE around campus.  The best part is that you can take as many as you want, so stock up!  My favorite coupon is the Old Chicago coupon: buy a drink and get a personal pizza for 99 cents.  These coupons are great for when you want to go out to eat with friends, but don't have a lot of money to spend.  Also, many apartment complexes get fliers for different food stores in the area.  Look through these fliers and save on food you'd buy anyway.

Bottom line: Coupons can save big and you can get them for free, so stock up!
