I feel this in my BONES. Art supplies are basically a second tuition payment. But YES, student discounts are worth it if you know where to look! In Austin, Asel Art gives 10% off with a student ID—not huge, but it adds up on expensive canvases. Jerry's Artarama also has a rewards program that stacks with student pricing.

Also, don't sleep on online discounts! Dick Blick offers free shipping and student pricing if you verify through .edu email. And Adobe Creative Cloud is literally $20/month instead of $50 with student verification. Every dollar counts when you're buying paint like it's going out of style!
