Tuition Fees in Canada

Best Blogger Tips
  Today I came across a website that is a valuable resource for people thinking about going to university. The website is called Canada's Higher Education and Career Guide. It offers tuition and fee information from Canadian universities. Just click on the province where the university is located and then find your school in the list. The link will lead you to the school's website with more information about finding relevant school costs.

Coupons @ RedFlagDeals

Best Blogger Tips
Have you ever searched through your couch cushions looking for loose change? Or picked up pennies off the ground when no one was looking? 

Well then you are like many college students who need to cut corners and scrounge for extra cash when money is tight. This can often be managed by careful budgeting but saving a few bucks here and there can really add up. If you are not a coupon clipper by now, start today! It can save your life! Or at least save you enough money for a pizza when you thought you were going to have to eat rip-off KD again.

The website RedFlagDeals.com is a good place to start your coupon clipping journey (you don't even have to clip, just print!). It searches coupons for you and organizes them by type so finding deals is easy. There are Deals of the Day, Freebies, Coupons, Price Comparisons, and more. I recommend starting with the Expiring Soon coupons/deals so you don't miss out on something special.

Why You Should Get A Job

Best Blogger Tips
Having a job while you're in school is a great way to earn some extra income. There are 3 main reasons you should get a job:

1. Increase Your Quality of Living
You can use the extra money  for having more fun while you are at school. It's great to have cash for dates, parties, and school breaks. You'll also be able to afford more and better things such as food and clothing.

2. Pay Your Bills
If you're like most people, "mommy and daddy" aren't paying your whole way through school, you'll need money to pay bills such as rent, cellphone, car insurance, internet, tuition, and books.  Having a job well help keep your bill payments on track.

3. Prepare for your future
If you think you don't need a job because your school/living costs are covered, you are wrong. Even if you are receiving assistance, loans, bursaries, etc it is a good idea to get a job. You can keep this money in a a savings account/savings bonds to help pay off loans after graduation. You can also save up for something like a new car.

It's best to balance your earnings. For example, you could use a little for fun, most towards school costs, and some into savings. But you need a balance that works for you. Start by covering all necessities like tuition, books, supplies, rent, groceries, and transportation. Then you can use any extra money for things like entertainment and shopping. If possible try to keep some for savings. It's important to have a financial plan in mind for after graduation.

In future posts I will help you prepare for and find a job. Best Blogger Tips

Textbooks: Tip #1 Buy Used

Best Blogger Tips
Let's face it. Textbooks are outrageously expensive. But there are a few things we can do to save some big bucks.

Tip #1 Buy Used Books

If they are available try to buy your textbooks used. A lot of people think used books are out-dated, the pages have been highlighted to death, and are, overall, in terrible condition. But this is not always the case, you can find up-to-date books that are very-gently used. Here is a list of places you can find them:

  • Campus Bookstores: Some schools allow students to sell their rarely used textbooks back to the school. At first glance they appear new but you can save up to 50%. Whenever I found a used copy of a book I needed, I grabbed it before they were all gone. In every case I never once found a mark, tear, or missing pages.
  • Students: Some students try to sell their books on their own. Look for postings on your school website, Facebook, your student email, and flyers around campus. These books are usually up-to-date editions because they were purchased the prior semester. 
  • Online: When used books were not available on campus I look online. Just remember that you may have to pay for shipping and you will have to wait for delivery. Also be sure that it is the right book (author, ISBN, publication date, edition) and that you trust the seller. There are several places to buy used book. These are the best: Chapters.ca, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, Textbookexchange.ca.
