1. Search the internet: Do a general search for student deals for *insert University name*. If you're looking for a certain store, search specifically for them, or call and ask if they provide student discounts. It's important to use a grocery store that provides deals for you while in college. I would suggest searching "grocery stores with student discount near me".
2. Use Apps: Most universities provide apps that include coupons for student to local places. If you can't find out if you have any, search the internet or call your institute's technology services. General apps like "Hooked" and "Pocket Points" are great options too!
3. Get items when they are on sale! (Whether you need them right now or not): If you see loaves of whole grain bread are buy 2 for $5, DO IT!! You can always freeze extras until you are ready to use them. This being said, I don't think you should go and buy everything on sale in the grocery store. But, if you know you're going to eat something eventually, I highly suggest getting it if it's on sale. (This doesn't necessarily include fresh produce; that can be hard to save).
4. Check and save receipts: Make sure you are getting every penny you deserve! Make sure you got discounts you were promised by signs in the store, and clerks can certainly change the price for you. Also, check the back of receipts for coupons! Saving receipts and budgeting is an important part of the college life. Try to spend a certain amount of money a week/month. Saving receipts is an easy way to keep track.
