Darrel Stevens (ID: 000000f395de3562) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/29/2019 Haven’t had a chance to really try out the Student Discount Finder extension for myself just yet. A couple of people in my dorm swear by it, though, so I’m definitely going to give it a shot. Anything to help me save some money while at school.

Jared Perez (ID: 0000007dfaf930ca) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/23/2019 Not every place I shop online has student discounts with this extension, but enough do to make it worth my while. The fact that it’s free, easy to install, and “just works” is a big bonus. I would definitely recommend it to fellow students.

Oscar Hodges (ID: 000000c5da200fbb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/22/2019 I’m not crazy about adding a lot of extensions to Chrome just because it slows things down a bit. But I’ll delete a whole bunch of other extensions before I get rid of this one. Nothing beats saving money, especially as a broke college student!
