If you're currently an active student, a Best Buy student discount is an awesome way to save big on a whole range of flagship tech products. Best Buy used to offer exclusive student discounts year-round. However, the deals required that you verify that you were indeed a student, but now Best Buy has opened its discounts to everyone.
The new Best Buy Back to School deals page offers sales that are open to anyone. Current student discounts include deals on laptops, up to $800 off Samsung Galaxy phones, 1080p monitors from $89, and more.
