If you clicked through to this story, you’re likely either one of two people: a college student with limited funds, or a parent starting to dread the amount of money you’re about to spend to send your kid off to college. Buying refurbished is a great way to save money, and Amazon has a ton of deals on lightly used items. While there are hundreds of Amazon refurbished items on the site right now, we’ve found 20 items that we think both college students and parents might be interested in. Among the deals that we were able to find include serious savings on printers, desktop and laptop computers, and even vacuum cleaners. In most cases you’re saving 20%-40% off buying brand new, freeing up funds to buy all the other stuff you need.
There are hundreds of deals available and keep in mind that Prime Day is coming up next month. We’ve already started to round up what we think will be the best deals on laptops, iPhones, smartwatches, and other Apple products.
