College students are always on the lookout for places they can save money, and on Mar. 1, the Warrior Discount fair took place in the quad to help students become more aware of the local shops that provide discounts to students who attend California State University, Stanislaus, (Stan State).
“This was for students to see various vendors who offer Warrior discounts and students to find out more about the vendors themselves,” Ana Bettencourt,  (sophomore, Sociology) said.
Lyzz Guzman, the Programs Advisor for Associated Student Inc. (ASI) and University Student Union (USU), explained why they wanted to reach out to the majority of the Turlock community.
“Everything we do is for the students. ASI wanted to create a program that was designed to benefit both the students and the Turlock community,” Guzman said.
“The business will then honor the discount on the purchase. We have distributed window decals to all participating businesses.  This makes it easier for any student to see.”

Marissa Medina was the representative for Envy Fine Clothing and Mary Ramirez, who is a marketing specialist, was the representative from Yogurt Mill.
Both vendors said they were out here “to help out the community”.
“We sought to get the name of Envy out there. Envy carries clothes for kids, men and women,” Medina said.
Yogurt Mill is a local favorite in Turlock and Modesto. Turlock’s location is at 2591 Geer Road.
“We have frozen yogurt and smoothies. We offer the healthier alternative,” Ramirez said.
For both of these businesses, students have to present their Warrior ID and will then receive the discount that the business has to offer, likewise for any other businesses that provides discounts to Stan State students. 
Students, such as Leslie Smith (junior, English), found it beneficial that Stan State is reaching out to local businesses in order to make clothing and food more affordable to students who are on a budget.
“If we know where the discounts are, we are more likely to go there,” Smith said.
