Whether you’ve already started back to school or are about to, it’s definitely the time of year when most of us could use a little help in some aspect of life. So why not start by saving some money?

GreatLIFE members, it’s definitely a good time for a refresher on the many ways to put your membership to work for you by taking advantage of all the member benefits available. Click here for the total list.

But in the spirit of back-to-school, we found six.

For the ones who need a new look

Nothing beats boutique back-to-school shopping like a discount. GreatLIFE members save 15 percent off their purchase all week long at Boutique in Brandon.

And who doesn’t get a new pair of shoes when heading back to class? And when you shop at Fit My Feet, GreatLIFE members receive 15 percent off regular price. Check them out — especially if your student is an athlete.

When upgrading your tech

Back-to-school season often means at least one new smartphone in the family. GreatLIFE members, remember you receive $50 in free accessories with a smartphone activation or upgrade at CellOnly. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, you also receive a free bonus item.

Making school lunch

A lunch sandwich is anything but ordinary when it’s on Breadsmith bread. GreatLIFE members receive an everyday bread for $2 with the purchase of any other loaf at all four Sioux Falls locations.

Dinner on the go

Mealtime definitely can take a different direction once school is back, whether you’re grabbing something on the run before sports or looking for an excuse to sit down with the family without having to cook.

We tried, and failed, to pick just one or two places you’ll save while eating out. So click here to see all of them.

When your student deserves a reward

There are lots of ways to treat your child and save with GreatLIFE, but a trip to Pizza Ranch never fails. You’ll receive a $5 playing card for the Fun Zone with a buffet purchase — one per paying adult; limit two per family.

It’s available at 41st and East 10th Street locations in Sioux Falls, and in Tea and Brandon. This offer cannot be combined with any other offers or discount.

For the long weekends

It won’t be long before school’s on break, so remember you can save every time you stay at a Regency-operated hotel. GreatLIFE members receive 20 percent off at all 38 hotels, from a Sioux Falls staycation to an Okoboji weekend and beyond. Click here for the complete list.
