Student Deals & Student Steals
I’m broke. You’re broke. Let’s chat. Here are some fun activities and restaurants around Lincoln that won’t break the bank.
$3 Sushi!
Head over to Ginger on Apples Way during happy hour (all day Sunday, 3-6 p.m. Monday-Friday, and 9-11 p.m. Friday) for eight pieces of sushi. The best part is it’s only $3! There are several great options, including vegetarian varieties. I highly recommend the fried sweet potato sushi! You can also score half-off desserts during happy hour!
$1 Student Night!
On Thursday, Nov. 21, the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center on UNL’s campus is hosting a student night. Show your ID for $1 admission, popcorn and drinks! You have the option of seeing Pain and Glory or Jojo Rabbit, both highly rated. Tickets must be purchased in person at the Ross Box Office.
Save on Two Games of Bowling!
Go to Hollywood Bowl or Parkway Lanes on 48th Street all day on Tuesdays for a deal! For $20, you and a friend get two games, two shoe rentals and two fountain drinks.
Cheap Movie Night!
On Tuesdays, head over to any Marcus Theater in Lincoln to catch a movie at a discount. Admission is only $5 and comes with free popcorn. Busy on Tuesdays? Go on Thursday for the student discount. Show your ID and get in for $6 – this also comes with free popcorn. Maybe check out the new Maleficent or Joker. Let me know how they are!
Flash Your Student ID!
Many stores will give you a discount if you show your student ID. These include TOMS, Levi’s, Kate Spade, Topshop, Under Armour, Nike and West Elm.
Food That’s Not from the Cafeteria!
If there’s one thing college students like to do, it’s eating. Show your student ID to get discounts or a free drink at places like Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, Burger King, Dairy Queen, Noodles & Company and Qdoba.
Get out there and save some money! If you know of any other deals and steals, spread the word!
