SVP of Brand, Culture and Media at Shipt Shares Tips on Savings and Shopping This Back-to-College Season

College students have enough to worry about while maintaining a good GPA, participating in extracurriculars and adapting to living away from home. Making time to shop for the essentials they need shouldnt take away from focusing on what matters most.

Allison shared three tips to help students budget for back-to-school:

1) Stay focused on saving during the summer months! Starting off the year with some fallback cash is important in case of emergencies and before you get that next paycheck from your student union job.

2) Theres nothing wrong with taking advantage of savings opportunities! When your favorite stores and shopping solutions are offering discounts, like Shipts $4.99 per month student membership for same-day delivery, take advantage! Savings solutions really should be a course at college!

3) Split the costs of groceries and activities. If youre sharing with roommates, make a budget tracker or phone notes doc to keep track of expenses to make sure its equitable.

Shipt is the perfect shopping solution and resource that provides more than just one benefit. As an affordable resource, you can rest assured knowing that you arent breaking the bank to have access to reliable shoppers with Shipt that are there to help you get all your needs.

Another benefit is that Shipt is a resource that gives you more time back in your day to spend on however you want! By relying on trusted shoppers with Shipt, youll have help gathering your essentials for you and recommending swaps if something is out of stock.
