Over the next three weeks, college students (and their parents) will spend more than $3 billion on the most essential of all winter back-to-school items: textbooks. The average student spends nearly $700 on textbooks for the new semester, but an increasing number are bringing these costs down by renting their textbooks instead. Textbook rentals hardly existed four years ago, but they now account for nearly 48% of all sales. By renting textbooks students can save 60-80% off the list price. Rent your textbooks from eCampus.com and see why so many students are excited about saving tons of cash this semester! To view the full infographic click here.

How To be a CheapSkate
As I’ve finally reached my senior year in college I get a chance to look back at some of the extremes I have gone to save a little extra cash (anything helps!). I’ve always made any effort to save that seemed like a decent option. With that said I’ll let you in on a few tips for making it out of college with some cash.
Firstly, don’t eat out if you can avoid it, you can save tons by just going to the grocery store and you can create anything you want.
Buy or even rent your textbooks online at eCampus.com you can often save over 50% and you never have to wait in a line or even leave your couch.
Ride a bike, don’t get caught spending 200 dollars for a parking pass when you can ride, get exercise, and usually park right next to the door you’re entering.
Find the cheap or free entertainment options around your campus. Concerts, comedy shows, and free movies are often part of your campus’ activity schedule. Also rent movies if your trying to save its either $9 a person or $2.50(or FREE from your library!) for the movie, you decide.
Use Freeware instead of paying for software when available, programs suites such as OpenOffice (similar to MS Office) are compatible and work well. Downloading freeware can be dangerous though so research thoroughly before downloading.
The best tip I have to offer any college student trying to figure out money problems is to BUDGET. Set a plan and stick to it. Try something like Judy Lawrence’s The Budget Kit: The Common Cents Money Management Workbook. It will help you get your spending under control and create a budget, and trust me the sooner the better.
