The Ultimate List Of Student Deals For Broke College Students

By Victoria Robertson on April 27, 2015

As college students, we face one of the biggest dilemmas of all: the desire to spend money, but no means with which to do it. In other words, we’re broke.

So to save a little bit of money, here are some student deals that you will certainly want to take full advantage of before you graduate, inspired by this End-of-Semester Deals article from RetailMeNot.com.

Food Deals:

Buffalo Wild Wings

Whether you’re throwing a bash in your apartment, going out for dinner with the roomies or are just craving that Caribbean Jerk goodness, Buffalo Wild Wings offers students a 10 percent discount on their meal.

McDonald’s

There isn’t a single student who hasn’t craved McDonald’s fries at one point or another. McDonald’s offers their students customers a free hamburger, cheeseburger or McFlurry with the purchase of a Value Meal.

Oh, and make sure you bring that student ID, you’ll need it.

Chipotle

Ah, the ever expensive Chipotle. But they help students out where they can, and offer a free small drink with a burrito purchase. We’ll take it.

Subway

You’ve gotta love that Meatball Marinara on Italian Herbs and Cheese, am I right? Well then, you’re in luck! Subway offers its student customers 10 percent off sub, salad or snack purchases so long as they show their valid student ID at checkout.

Dairy Queen

Of course, there’s gotta be some kind of deal for the sweet tooth, right? There is. Students get 10 percent off their DQ purchase with a valid student ID.

Pizza Hut

We love pizza. Anyone that tells you they don’t is either a liar or someone whose negativity you don’t need in your life.

Burger King

The chicken fries are back, and there’s no better time to take advantage of them. Burger King is yet another chain that offers students a discount of 10 percent.
