This week I am sharing back-to-school savings tips for college students as a guest editor for Entertainment.com. For nearly 50 years, Entertainment has been helping people save money with premium 50% off and 2-for-1 coupons for everyday essentials right in their neighborhood including: dining, groceries, shopping, services, movie tickets, travel, car care, sporting events, home furnishings and more.
Here’s today tip:
Don’t be tempted to get credit cards. It’s very easy for college students to get them, but the last thing you want to do is go into debt when you are just starting your independence. If you are a parent of a college student, help your child open a bank account and have them use a debit card for his or her purchases. Prepaid debit cards are another option if you want to limit spending.
Make sure you “like” the Entertainment Coupon Book Facebook page to see my tip each day!
Do you have a tip to share? I would love to hear it!

I wish someone would have told me this back when I was in college! I was a single mom and didn't know any better! It is still haunting me over 10 years later!
