Textbook Savings (repost)

I posted this in January, but I'm reposting for everyone headed back to school.

The Amazon student program has proven to be very beneficial. If you sign up on http://www.amazon.com/ with a student email address (ending in .edu), you'll qualify for discounts on textbooks, including FREE 2-day shipping. I have saved money on my textbooks, as well as books the kids have needed for Accelerated Reading. The textbook costs have been 20% or more cheaper than the school's bookstore. In addition to the shipping savings, they often send emails with discounts or other freebies for students. Follow the link below to sign up for Amazon student.

Prescription Discounts

Here's a prescription discount trick I use for my son's monthly medications. Search the manufacturer's website for coupon cards and discounts. Most of them have monthly discounts, and a few have discount cards that can be used multiple times. The prescription coupons work if you have low co-pays or if you have to pay out of pocket (POS) and get reimbursed by your insurance company. These discounts are not available at Wal-Mart on the $4 prescriptions. Also, there is no cost for any of these discounts/coupons, but you may have to register with email address.

Some of the companies that I know that offer discounts/coupons: Singulair, Advair, Albuterol, Xopenex.

ACT test

It's getting close to ACT test time for high school Juniors and Seniors.  The deadline for the September test day has passed, but late registration is available until 8/26/11 for an additional fee.
Due to the economic problems, more people are qualifying for the ACT fee waiver.  Visit ACT fee waiver to get information on how to qualify for fee waiver.  The fee waiver will not cover later registration.  More information can also be obtained from school guidance counselors, who have the form.  The form is no longer available on the ACT website.
