The last thing you would think being in college could do is save you money, considering the thousands of dollars we drop every year on it. But that little piece of plastic you got at freshman orientation is worth so much more than cafeteria food—it can land you some major student discounts at top-notch stores like Madewell, J.Crew, and Topshop, along with restaurants you probably visit on a weekly basis.

Despite how great these discounts are (usually 15%!), I’m so bad at remembering to use them. Even when I do have my ID on me, I’m not always sure if a store offers them.
