Calling all MS students! Let's build the ULTIMATE discount master thread for 2026!

[BertaSimpson]

I just moved down to Oxford for grad school from out of state, and while I'm loving the sweet tea and the hospitality, my bank account is crying a little bit. Tuition is one thing, but the day-to-day stuff really adds up!

I've found a few little gems already (shout out to the 10% off at the local bookstore just for showing your student ID!), but I KNOW there are more out there. I'm talking food, clothes, software, haircuts, random weekend activities—anything and everything!

My goal for 2026 is to save enough on discounts to fund a big end-of-semester celebration. So, I need your help! If you're a student in Mississippi, please drop your best finds in this thread. Let's make this the go-to list for everyone!

A few to get us started:

• Sweet Peeps Bakery: If you show your ID after 2 PM, they sometimes have "student specials" on day-old pastries. So good.
• Spotify/Hulu Bundle: Still a classic. Half off with a student email.
• Local Gyms: Most of them around here offer a discounted semester pass instead of a yearly contract. Way cheaper!

What have you found? Any secret menu hacks? Any professors who offer extra credit for finding coupons? (A girl can dream! ). Drop 'em below!

Ooh ooh! Adding to the list:
La Michoacana (on N Lamar): They do student discounts sometimes? Just flash your ID and ask. Hit or miss but when it hits... $1 paletas.

Also Amazon Prime Student is half off and comes with all the regular perks. Free 6-month trial then like $7/month. Literal lifesaver for textbooks and random supplies.
