11 ways college students can save money:
Adults under the age of 25 spend an average of $2,362 a year on dining out, according to the That comes to an average of about $45 a week. But remember, that number includes young adults who are working, as well as college students, and those young adults don’t have meal plans. If you’re spending more than than $45 a week eating out—or more than your personal budget allows, which might be less than that—it’s time to get a handle on your restaurant habit.
You and your friends like a drink with dinner? Assuming you’re all of legal drinking age, suggest a BYOB restaurant. A beverage purchased from the local wine and spirits store will always be cheaper than one purchased at a restaurant. It’s not a BYOB? There’s always pregaming. Unlike my former self, there are plenty of college students who have a knack for cooking.
Meal-kit delivery services can be just as bad on your finances, sometimes costing less than dining out and food delivery but more than buying your own groceries. Services like Blue Apron charge upwards of $7 per serving or over $40 for a few recipes to get you through the week. Not bad, but the? There’s no button to click for that, you have to reach out to support and have them send you a list of instructions on how to make that happen. Their form of customer retention, I guess.
