Rent rates are high, gas prices are soaring, and chances are, you barely have two pennies to rub together. When it comes to getting creative about cutting costs, your MavCARD comes in handy, and attaching .edu at the end of your email could land you amazing discounts, online or in-person.
With a little bit of everything to offer; here are some of our favorite activities to take advantage of sweet discounts and deals:
Aksarben Cinema
Located within walking distance from Scott Campus, Aksarben Cinema provides a discount for movie-goers with a valid student ID. Discounts are not available for online ticket purchases. Beyond enjoying all of the major theatrical releases you’ve come to know and love, grab popcorn with extra butter, your favorite fountain drink and recline your seat while you enjoy the sweet cinematic experience of savings.
Cold Stone Creamery
Staying in Aksarben Village, scoop up savings at Cold Stone Creamery. Take your favorite ice cream flavor, add your mixins and savor your frozen masterpiece. The student-favorite ice cream parlor offers $1 off a purchase when you show your MavCARD. Cold Stone’s Midtown location also participates in the deal.
