America is one of the most expensive countries in the world and in order not to part with your accumulated funds, we present you a selection of the most useful services:

1. Craigslist is our "Avito" counterpart for finding used things or jobs. On this site you can find everything from a stool to a car for a very nice price, you just need to set the right search area and what you need and you're likely to find it two or three times cheaper than in the store!

Offer Up, Let Go, and Facebook Marketplace are modern analogs of craigslist for buying and selling.

2. Greyhound and Megabus are the most popular services for getting around the U.S. by bus. Each of these services has a mobile app, with the help of which you can buy a ticket at any convenient time or just find out the schedule. These services sometimes have special deals on certain destinations when you can buy an intercity bus ticket for only a dollar!

Expedia, Skyscanner, Orbitz - nothing is more convenient for buying airline tickets than these services. Directly on the website or through a mobile app you can choose the cheapest flights and buy tickets for them right away. Just be careful, many airlines will ask you to pay extra for luggage in the U.S.

4. Booking, Airbnb - these are the best sites for booking hotels or apartments. You can easily find the best deals for you with a convenient search and many filters. There is a small nuance with booking - you may be charged a deposit, which a few weeks after your departure will be returned to your card in full.
5. Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, JD - all these services will help you to buy the cheapest items in different categories at the best prices, and get them to you within a few days (for the American service EBAY, Amazon) and more than a week for the Chinese service (AliExpress, JD).
6. Grub hub - resale site for tickets to concerts, sports games, and other events. At the last moment you found out about the concert of your favorite band and there are no tickets on the official website anymore? No problem - check Grub hub - the closer to the date of the event, the more sellers discount prices.
7. Uber, and Lyft - at the moment these are the most widespread cab networks in the U.S. and the cheapest. Their mobile app allows you not to use cash, and the cost of the trip is known in advance.
8. ISIC.org is a website that will let you know about all the student discounts in the U.S. and other countries. By the way, all Work and Travel participants are issued an ISIC student ID to access all discounts and offers!
9. Groupon is a super-duper site with very cool coupons with which you can save a lot of money. Mostly discounts on all sorts of interesting activities and not a bad option for gifting to friends.
10. Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, Jucy car, Fox - if you don't know any Mexicans who can get you a car for cheap, these companies will be happy to do it. They have affordable prices and decent cars.
