It’s a known fact that students enrolled in schools and universities are supposed to get discounts. However, most stores and places keep a lot of these huge student discounts a secret. Not only does everyone love a good sale shopping spree or discounted item, but students especially need these financial savings while spending most of their working days in school learning. Females, especially, are notorious for having a million products, clothing items, or just basic necessities that male counterparts don’t want or need. This blog post is about to save all school-aged girls a lot of time, effort, and money. The toughest and only thing you are going to have to do next is simply just getting out your student ID card.
1. UniDays and StudentBeans
Apps
UniDays and StudentBeans are two apps that every single student needs to have downloaded immediately. All you have to do is log in with your student ID to verify yourself, then with just a flash of your UniDays ID or StudentBeans number, you’re good to go at a variety of companies. Both student discount programs provide a range of discounts in every category you can think of — food & drinks, clothing & fashion, technology, beauty, health & fitness, etc. Even better, you can get access to exclusive and limited-time only discounts that will notify you on your app. There’s absolutely no reason to not have either of these essential apps within easy access if you’re a student.
2. LookFantastic.com
Online makeup, hair, and beauty products
Europe’s top online beauty retailer, LookFantastic, has an enormous selection of high end and high quality products for all female wants, needs, and concerns. LookFantastic is one of several discounts you can find on the student discount directory from savethestudent.org. However, not many online beauty and skincare retailers give you 20% with very few brands excluded. Makeup from MAC and YSL, and tanning products from St. Tropez and Isle of Paradise, are just a few of the easily accessible brands you can purchase from without having to leave your study spot. The wellness section also has a wide selection of female intimate care products and female vitamins/supplements, which you can additionally get at a discount.
3. French Connection and AllSaints
Higher End Fashion
French Connection and AllSaints are two stores with highly priced, premium quality items. Both trendy retailers are not typically within a college student’s budget, unless, you happen to know about their student discount promotions. French Connection provides 20% each season, and AllSaints frequently has a 15% promotion. If you’re feeling a fancy new dress or sweater, you now have the perfect excuse to buy it with a student discount.
4. Boots and Superdrug
Health and Beauty Retailers
It’s hard to miss a Boots or Superdrug when you’re walking around London. It’s also hard
to avoid shopping at one of their many locations when you need something random, like perhaps a travel size tampon or bottle of nail polish remover. Now, think about how much money you will save, now that you know there’s automatic 10% off student discount at both retailers for every single purchase you make. You will be saving funds left and right, and all you need is to pick up a free Boots or Superdrug card.
5. Fragrance Direct
We ladies like to smell nice, but having a favorite scent isn’t always cheap. Perfumes and fragrances are pricey, even for the smallest bottles. Fragrance Direct has name brand and unique scents all available online to purchase. You can even get candles and room diffusers to keep your living spaces smelling clean and fresh as well, and all at 10% off!
6. Yankee Candle
While on the topic fragrances and smelling nice, Yankee Candle also has its own student discount. This well-known candle company has over 600 fragrances for holidays, special occasions, or just daily use, all applicable to the student discount.
7. Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte Tilbury is all the rage right now, no doubt thanks to TikTok. From the Pillow Talk lip products, to the Magic Hydrating Serum line, you’ve definitely heard all about this brand. What you may not have heard is that Charlotte Tilbury has a 10% off discount for all students. This brand is not only high quality and up to the hype, but also now available for students at a lower price.
8. Sweaty Betty
As luxury and high quality athleisure apparel go, Sweaty Betty is up there as one of the top brands. Their material can last you for years, even with daily wear. Their renowned bum-sculpting leggings are a fan-favorite, but at 80 pounds per pair, students can’t exactly buy multiple items at once. However, the 20% student discount is here to help with that!
9. Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters is another retailer that’s hard to avoid, as you can find their store locations almost anywhere. The stylish clothes come at a high price point at Urban Outfitters, but the 10% student discount on any and every purchase sure does help a lot. Even setting aside the apparel, Urban Outfitters has a trendy home decor department and home goods selection that are also always eligible for this student discount.
10. Amazon Prime
Saving the best for last, it’s absolutely crucial that every student knows and takes advantage of the huge student discounts provided by the Amazon empire. For six whole months the benefits included are: 50% off prime products, one-day free delivery, free prime video/music/audiobooks, and other limited, exclusive offers only for students. When you need something quickly, Amazon is typically the way to go without having to lift a finger. So, why not add on a student discount on top of that?
While taking our mind off some of the daily pressures, especially during this current Mental Health Awareness Week, sometimes retail-therapy can be a quick fix. Material items by no means can change the way you act or feel, but low funds and a lack of spending money can definitely create some stress and pressure. These ten student discounts are here to help you with that. You can also look up some of your own personal favorite stores on the UniDays App, Student Beans app, or Save the Student Discount Directory. Happy shopping! :)
