The fall semester is slowly closing in, and that means it’s time to prep for life back on campus. Before you panic, Amazon has you covered. What? You don’t have your own Prime membership? Then let me introduce you to Amazon Prime Student.
Take it for a test run and sign up with your college email address for a free six-month trial. That’s a whole semester and some change for free. You’ll have access to all the Prime benefits: free two-day shipping, Prime Video, Twitch Prime and Prime Reading, for example. Cherish these perks because once you exit your college bubble, you’ll be paying full price with the rest of us.
Armed with your Prime Student membership, these are the college essentials you’ll want to buy on Amazon for the most savings, including up to 40% off backpacks and bags right now:
Amazon Textbooks Store
Although Amazon ended its textbook rental program this past April, you can still skip the campus bookstore and save up to 90% on used textbooks, up to 49% off new ones and up to 60% when you buy digital ones. I’ve tried to find better deals elsewhere, but none have beaten the deals on Amazon — even your school’s bookstore. At Amazon, you can purchase new and used textbooks or choose e-textbooks that are delivered immediately after purchase.
Search for your class’s required textbook with an ISBN, author’s name or the name of the textbook. Just make sure you’re purchasing the correct edition. I learned that lesson the hard way.
Study Space Deals
Whether furnishing an apartment or a small dorm space, having the essentials for studying at your fingertips is important. From printers to inflatable sofas and everything in between, you’ll save more on Amazon with everything delivered straight to your dorm or apartment in two days or less — in most cases.
College Tech Deals
If you’re creating content or protecting your precious electronics, Amazon has oodles of cases for your phone, laptop and tablet, plus deals on computers, tech accessories and more. Most of the time, Amazon’s prices on tech accessories are better than what you’ll likely find at other stores, so load up on colors and designs you can switch out throughout the semester.
Space Organization Deals
Staying organized while using up the least amount of space is essential in college. For example, this Bedside Shelf Organizer is perfect for dorm rooms to keep your stuff in its place. And you can shop for under-the-bed storage, desk organization, closet organizers and storage bins, to name a few. You can get all these things on Amazon — for less.
College Fan Gear
Support your school’s sports teams — both on the field or off — through Amazon’s Fanshop. Shop by your favorite NCAA team’s fan gear, including caps, T-shirts, pennants for your room and more. If you’re lucky, the gear will be on sale but don’t expect too many deals until later in the school year. Amazon’s Fanshop is still likely cheaper than your school store, even when it’s not on sale.
College Kitchen Deals
Coffee and espresso are the equivalents of fuel for studying. To get the best gas mileage, don’t rely on the java shops around town to fill you up. Invest in a Keurig or something similar. You’ll save money and time because the lines at the university cafe get long. And if you’re living off campus this year, Amazon has cheap kitchen gadgets and essential items to make life more pleasant as you hustle through your courses.
College Dorm Decor Deals
Even if you’re sharing space with roommates, that doesn’t mean you can’t personalize your very own corner of the room. Amazon has so many styles and ridiculous amounts of items to make your little area feel as close to home as possible. On Amazon, you’ll find deals on things like sheets, towels, blankets and more.
