I don’t know about you, but I like saving money. If I were told the number of places around Sioux City that have student discounts during my freshman year, I would have probably been able to cover the costs of a few textbooks my sophomore year. I’ve curated a list of businesses that vary from food to clothes, so you can get the essentials and save money as a student.
Remember to bring your student ID when you go to these locations. The discount is usually up to 10%. Keep in mind this list can vary by location, and don’t be afraid to contact the business to inquire if they offer student discounts.

  • Subway
  • Arby’s
  • Buffalo Wild Wings
  • Chick-fil-a
  • Domino’s Pizza
  • Papa John’s
  • Qdoba
  • Dunkin Donuts
  • Goodwill
  • Best Buy

There are also many services in the entertainment variety online that also give student discounts. You might be more familiar with these discounts, but just in case, the entertainment it provides at a discounted price is hard to beat!

  • Spotify (which includes Hulu!)
  • Apple Music
  • Pandora
  • HBO Max
  • Paramount +
  • Peacock
  • YouTube Premium
  • SoundCloud

Finally, there are a lot of online websites that you might order off of that offer a student discount and you don’t even know it. This includes many clothing brands and other general websites. If these stores have physical locations, it is more than likely they will still offer a student discount.

  • Adidas
  • Nike
  • Amazon
  • Converse
  • Crocs
  • Levi’s
  • Reebok
  • Stanley
  • The North Face
  • Tommy Hilfinger

If you are looking for a website that provides an expansive list of possible discounts, UNiDAYs and Student Beans provide a list and breakdown of deals for students on the brands you love. You can always ask a business/store if they offer a student discount, because it never hurts to save money!
