Okay... just an idea... when you spend cash, the left over change, put it in a bucket/jar... and "SLOWLY" save. I had one in college, and we called it our.... uh... "beer" money. My roommate and I had one together, and at the end of the week... we always had some cash for extra groceries.... and... uh... "beverages" when we needed it from an extra hard school week!!!

Rent - Offer to do work for the landlord.
Groceries - BUY THEM...do not eat out all the time.
- Or get a part time job as a waitress, a lot of time the restaurant will let you take meals directly from your paycheck.
Soap & Other Body things - Look for free samples online.
Clothes - Thrift Shops, Second Hand Shops or Discount Chains
Furniture - Thrift Shops, Second Hand Shops or Discount Chains.
When you see something you like in food, buy alot of it... take advantage of "shopper cards".
Good Luck!!

Lots of big companies give discounts to students. If you like going to the movies, show them your student ID card, and they will usually give you a $2 or so discount. If you need a new computer, several companies like Dell and Gateway give student discounts (usually a pretty fair amount) on certain computers. You just have to know where to look, and it never hurts to ask where you go to see if they give student discounts. :)

You can't, just try to control your debt. Don't use credit cards unless you have to. Shop at discount stores, get a part time job in your field so you have extra money and some job experience.

Coupons, budgeting BIG TIME, and when you need to go out find cheap things to do...like a cheap theatre, drinking at home before the bar and not at the bar and always share your cab ride with as many people as possible, the more the cheaper! And always shop at Walmart or Superstore!

Get a job, use less stuff so you needn't buy so much, and save up some money for emergencies.
