The answer is relatively simple. Whether it is using Aggie Bucks acquired through par ents or student loans, sleeping on friends couches instead of paying rent or simpler ideas like eating eating the free samples at Sam’s Club, making the dollar stretch is an art form just about anyone can master. Karen Hudson, a junior sociology ma jor, said Aggie Bucks are the best for get ting things for free. “Aggie Bucks are like a credit card, ex cept your parents pay for it,” Hudson said. “It’s especially nice now that so many places take them. You can get books, go grocery shopping at the Com mons and Underground markets and eat at places like Applebee’s.” Hudson said she had a slightly un orthodox use for her Aggie Buck stash. “If you want, you can get your books with Aggie Bucks, take them back for cash and then call your dad and tell him you ran out and need more.” Julia Crenshaw-Smith, a junior agricult ural engineering major, said it is easy to spend Aggie Bucks too quickly, but they are nice while they last. “I’ve spent at least 30 bucks at Free- birds,” Crenshaw-Smith said. “But it’s al ways nice to use to get my caffeine right before class.” Crenshaw-Smith said People Books can also be a big money saver for students and that the coupons cover a wide range of products. “People Books are a lifesaver,” she said. “I don’t think I’ve ever paid full price to get film developed or to do my laundry since I’ve been at school. I get thn books a semester and carry thet everywhere.” Crenshaw-Smith said many are not aware of many simple things to save money and still get things. "It’s great if you have a small c truck, because you never have to cart four h me JQ£| > 10 friends around and waste money on gas," she said. “If you have a big car. you can pile it full of stuff so that no one can fit. Then you still don't have to drive.” Filling out applications is another way to cash in on freebies, Crenshaw-Smith said. Credit cardcc shirts to all applies: “Fill it out, gel! card.” she said.
