I’m Ethan, and I was the typical “always broke” college student. I thought saving money in college meant eating ramen every night and avoiding anything fun. Turns out, I just didn’t know what I was doing when it came to finding ways to cut costs.
Where It All Went Wrong
College is a scam! “
Okay, not really, but when you’re balancing textbooks that cost more than your rent, overpriced meal plans, and the occasional (necessary) caffeine overdose at Starbucks, your bank account takes some serious hits.
I used to tell myself, “I’ll just budget better.” But budgeting only works when you actually have money to budget. And somehow, I was broke before midterms between buying school supplies, and late-night snacks, and paying for group project supplies because someone always forgets.
The One Hack That Changed My Spending
Then one night, while panic-Googling “how to not be a broke college student,” I found Voulay.
Voulay works like a stackable discount system. You start with a price, and over time, it drops automatically based on engagement, social sharing, and their Discount Mob (which sounds like something out of an action movie but is actually a community of deal-seekers making discounts grow).
I figured, why not? If it could help me save on things I was already buying, what did I have to lose?
My Favorite Voulay-Fueled Finds
I started small: dorm essentials. The first thing I snagged was the Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker because let’s be honest, campus coffee shops are just legal robbery. With Voulay, I got it 30% off without waiting for a sale or digging for coupons.
Then I found a Brita Water Filter Pitcher (because I wasn’t about to drink dorm tap water) and an LED Desk Lamp with Wireless Charging for late-night study sessions. Both? Cheaper than anywhere else, thanks to Voulay’s Living Discounts.
Why I’ll Never Pay Full Price Again
Now, instead of impulse-buying on Amazon at 2 AM and crying over my bank statement later, I use Voulay to stack savings over time. I’ve saved hundreds on school essentials, snacks, and even a Herschel Backpack that I’d been eyeing forever.
Oh, and did I mention you can gift Living Discounts to friends? Because my roommate still owes me for the time I covered his Chipotle order, and I’m cashing in on that deal.
Be Smarter, Not Broke
Voulay turned me into that friend who always knows where to get the best deals, and honestly? I’m fine with that. If you’re tired of watching your bank account hit single digits before payday, do yourself a favor and try Voulay.
Your wallet (and your coffee addiction) will thank you.
