We know money can feel tight as a student, especially when you’re balancing food, rent, and everything else that comes with university life.
Whether you’re grabbing something between lectures or sitting down for a proper meal, there are plenty of simple ways to keep costs down without missing out...
£1.50 value meals
One of the simplest places to start is with the £1.50 meals available across campus. These are are a great option when you just need something warm without overthinking the cost. They’re available in nearly all food outlets, all day, every day.
Try the Munch Box
The Munch Box scheme is a great way to pick up surplus food from outlets in your own container, for just £3.25. It’s also a great option if you’re trying to be a bit more mindful about food waste.
Don’t forget Bath Go
It’s definitely worth making the most of the Bath Go app if you’re eating on campus regularly. Offers change throughout the year, view the current ones here. It’s an easy way to access discounts, collect points, and occasionally get something extra for free. It only takes a second to scan, but your loyalty points definitely mount up over time.
Save 10% in Fresh with TOTUM
If you’re picking up food in Fresh, don’t forget to use your TOTUM student discount. You can get 10% off your shop, which is an easy way to save on everyday essentials like snacks, drinks, and meal items. It might not seem like much at first, but those savings quickly add up over the week. Just show or swipe your TOTUM card or app at the till.
Make the most of Eat and Drink credit
If you’ve got Eat & Drink credit, there are often additional deals available across different outlets, plus you get 10% off at the till. These can help stretch your budget a bit further, especially if you’re already planning to eat on campus.
