Everyone knows that college students are broke. Let s face it, not everyone will be an Internet millionaire by their 20s, but the Web can help you financially in other ways. It can help you save money by way of academic pricing.
Academic pricing is special discounted pricing manufacturers offer students and teachers.
Students and teachers can buy products ranging from books and magazine subscriptions, to computer hardware and software, saving up to 60 percent from the suggested retail price. Some online stores will advertise that they offer academic pricing, whereas others will not. Their computer store has everything that a college student could need, from a computer package including a computer, printer and Microsoft Office, saving you hundreds of dollars, to computer games and CD burners. They sell school supplies, art supplies, furniture, music, videos and flowers. Their prices are discounted off the suggested retail price, but the discount is not quite as significant as other sites.
