14 Secret Discounts You Can Get With A Student ID

Mike Segar/ReutersBetween tuition, textbooks, food and partying, it's tough for college students to set aside money for shopping.

That's why a number of retailers, including J. Crew, Topshop, and Anne Taylor, offer a variety of student discounts.

Most retailers only offer discounts to students who can present a valid ID in stores, but others, like Club Monaco, slash prices for online purchases as well, as long as students have a valid email address with a ".edu" domain.

Not all the student discounts are advertised on the retailers' websites, so we called the companies to confirm.
