A dollar saved is a dollar spent to pay off future student loans

It’s the middle of fall semester and it’s that time of year again when the temperature drops and the motivation you had to cook for yourself begins to wane. Continuously buying snacks at the gas station, getting food to go from the Memorial Union, and being constantly fueled by coffee can take a toll on the bank account. After all, We’re college students and saving money is a priority especially when you think about the rent you have to pay at the end of the month.

Next time you find yourself walking around campus hungry, keep these happy hour / specials in mind.
