While a lot of savings available while you're studying are pretty low — around 5% to 10% — you can find deals for students that are between 15% and 50% off to really save money.
That includes student discounts for Amazon Prime, Spotify, Bulk Barn, Adidas, and more.
Deals are available to high school and post-secondary students in Canada with discount programs like Student Price Card (SPC), which costs $11.99 a year but gets you access to more than 400 deals, and UNiDAYS, which is free to join.
Or you can find savings directly from these retailers, brands and stores across the country.
Now, let's get into a bunch of discounts for students you can get in Canada that are at least 15% off for everything from food, apparel, tech, entertainment and more!

If you're looking to save money while shopping for items like baking ingredients, candy, cereal, chocolate, coffee and tea, cookies, dried fruit, beans, nuts, spices, pasta, rice, vitamins, supplements and more, this is for you!
You can get Bulk Barn's student discount of 15% off at stores across Canada every Wednesday when you show a valid high school, college or university ID.
This discount offers savings for students on regular-priced products and can be used in addition to the $2 off or $5 off Bulk Barn coupons that are also available.
Bulk Barn has more than 275 stores across Canada, with locations in every province.

If you want to get the deal, you must be a post-secondary student enrolled at an accredited college or university and also be older than 18.
Spotify's Premium Student membership is available for up to four years.
You'll still have access to the cheaper student pricing for up to 12 months from the date you subscribed or last re-verified and then you'll get switched to the Premium Individual subscription.
Since the Premium Individual plan is $10.99 a month, the Premium Student membership that's discounted to $5.99 is about 50% off!

That means you can save 25% off regular-priced products online and then 15% off sale items at outlet stores when you show your SPC membership.

With SPC, you can get up to 40% off HelloFresh so you don't have to go to the grocery store and try to figure out what to make for your meals.
If you don't know, HelloFresh is a meal kit delivery service that gets you recipes with step-by-step instructions meant to take just 30 minutes and fresh ingredients in the exact quantities that are needed for the recipe.
Amazon Prime
If you're looking to save money for online shopping and streaming, there is an Amazon Prime student discount that gets you a membership for much cheaper.
Prime Student members get free delivery, access to Prime Video streaming, early access to deals, gaming, ad-free music streaming, and more.
You get a six-month free trial when you first sign up for a student membership and then after that, the Prime Student membership will cost you $4.99 a month plus taxes.
That's cheaper than the regular membership — which costs $9.99 a month plus taxes — so with the student discount you're basically getting 50% off!
