You will be fully aware that being a student means making your pennies stretch on a tight budget.
However, that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of your time in Chester, enjoying meals on nights out with friends or occasional takeaways with housemates. At Bed Student Rentals, we’ve got some great tips on how to enjoy the best student food and drink deals in the city. Whether you live in Chester University accommodation or student accommodation in Chester city centre or beyond, we’ve got you covered.
Delivery and takeaway student discounts
After a busy day at university, what could be more enticing than a night in with a tasty takeaway meal? Luckily for you, there are loads of student home delivery meal deals to pick from. With a Student Beans ID card, you can get discounts with a variety of restaurants and delivery services. LEON offers a 15% student discount, Pizza Express 30% and Pizza Hut 20%, while there are also special offers from KFC, Taco Bell, Toby Carvery and Greggs. In addition, there are excellent deals given to students by delivery services like Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats.
With a TOTEM card, you also have exclusive access to student deals for deliveries and takeaways. These deals include 50% off Domino’s Pizza, special discounts on Just Eat and Uber Eats, 20% off click-and-collect at Toby Carvery and Harvester, and much more. Don’t forget the UNiDAYS ID card; this student discount card gives you access to great delivery and takeaway deals. If you fancy a pizza, you can get 25% off your bill from Sunday to Friday, or if you’re craving a Mexican meal, Las Iguanas gives you 30% off food from Sunday to Thursday.
Meal subscription student deals
Although they are great as a treat, eating out or getting takeaways all the time isn’t a viable option when you’re on a student budget. However, cooking your own food doesn’t have to mean bland or less-than-nutritious meals. You may choose to the Pot Noodles and frozen pizzas and opt for a meal subscription service instead. These services deliver ingredients and recipes straight to your door, allowing you to create healthy, delicious meals with very little effort. Your Student Beans card gives you several discounts on food subscription box services to pick from. HelloFresh has two student discounts available, whilst MuscleFood offers a similar promotion too. You can also check out Green Chef, Grubby and Mindful Chef for their excellent student deals. Using TOTEM, Prep Kitchen offers great deals, as does Frive, Green Chef, HelloFresh, Gousto and Simply Cook. Your UNiDAYS ID card, meanwhile, gives access to a mouth-watering deal: 65% off your first box, 25% off two, then 10% off for a year, plus a free dessert. With all these fantastic student discounts, you’re sure to find the right subscription for your dietary requirements.
Restaurant student discounts
When you feel like treating yourself and your mates to a meal out, there are plenty of restaurants in Chester that are student-discount friendly. Flash your Student Beans card, and you’ll have instant access to special dining deals at LEON, Zizzi, Harvester, Prezzo, Coco di Mama, and more.
With your TOTEM card, you will be eligible for cashback deals at Prezzo, Yo!Sushi, and Pizza Hut. TOTUM and Tastecard have joined forces to offer a free 3-month trial. Tastecard offers fantastic restaurant deals to members who benefit from 2-for-1 meal deals or 25% off their bill (including alcohol) at thousands of participating UK restaurants. A UNiDAYS ID card brings delicious deals at restaurants like Bella Italia, TGI Friday’s and Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery.
Supermarket student discounts
Student food and drink deals aren’t just limited to takeouts and dining out. There are loads of freebies and deals in supermarkets every day of the week. Take advantage of your Student Beans card at Holland & Barrett, where you’ll get a 20% discount, and Iceland, where you’ll get a discount code as a new customer. Your TOTUM card will earn you a 10% student discount at Co-Op, and if you sign up for the Morrisons Student Club, you’ll get great deals in the stores, too. At M&S, you can take advantage of their 25% student discount on their ‘Food on the Move” range, which is ideal for when you fancy taking a packed lunch with you to the library or lectures.
At Bed Student Rentals, we not only care about providing quality shared student housing in Chester, but also about ensuring you are able to make the most of your time in the city, at discounted prices to make that loan go even further.
