Did you know that Apple offers discounts to students, teachers, universities, and even parents who buy for their students?!

I didn’t either.

If you buy a Mac from the Apple Store for Education before September 16th, you can get a mail-in rebate on your iPod purchase – up to $199.

Be sure to use these links to get to the right pages and be eligible for the discount. To get the student discount, Apple will get information from you about your student’s school – and if your school isn’t listed, they provide a special phone number to confirm your status.

If you want to get stuff on sale, discounted, and clearance you have to check out the two new stores I’ve just set up with eBags and CloseOuts.com computers & electronics.

• American Tourister
• Patagonia
• Pierre Cardin
• Guess Handbags
• Oleg Cassini
