As a senior in high school, I've been looking at a bunch of college campuses all over the country, especially those on the East Coast. Some colleges in New York City were at the top of my list for a while — who could resist the beautiful skyline and bustling city life?
So I turned to TikTok. From discounted manicures to free activities, New York City TikTokers have been sharing their know-how on how to live the good life in the city on a budget.
Here are 11 tips on saving money in the city that I've learned from TikTok:
Blink gym memberships can be great, depending on whether you go to the gym consistently or you like working out with a friend. Blink offers two membership plans: The Green plan is $32 per month with a 12-month commitment, and the Gray plan is $33 per month with no commitment.
With the Green plan, you can visit any of the 100-plus locations and bring a friend every time you work out. Since you can bring a friend, you could conceivably split the cost of this membership with a pal and you'd be spending only about 50 cents on the gym every day. The Gray plan allows you single gym access and a free personal training session. With the Gray plan, if you're going to the gym every day, that means you're spending close to $1 per day on the gym.
AMC offers special Discount Tuesday deals for all levels of AMC Stubs members. At participating locations, you can watch movies for $5 or discounted prices every Tuesday. This means tickets are generally around 50% off on Tuesdays, which is a total steal — especially if you love going to the theater.
