With the annual net cost of attending a four-year college up more than 10% in the past five years, the average undergraduate debt load topping $30,000, and slow-rising wages awaiting them after graduation, college students need to save a buck wherever they can. The good news is, there are lots of ways to save on things you're already planning to purchase.

Money used The University Network's collection of store coupons as a starting point, then added in some discounts we've learned about for other services. The University Network (TUN) has a full-time staff that updates its list of coupons to keep them current, and the company publishes standing student discounts as well as seasonal sales, CEO Peter Corrigan says. Even more helpful, perhaps, is the exhaustive list of discounts offered by small companies collected by the website. Corrigan says TUN.com has about 16,000 coupons from businesses around the country. Users can scan through the national brands offering deals or look at a map based on their location.

Other similar student discount platforms include the U.K.-based Unidays, opens up more deals to brands such as Apple, ASOS, and Express, after students register with the website and Knoji which offers a wide range of products as well.

Note that almost every discount requires either a valid student ID or a .edu email address.
