Save on sandwiches and pizzas with Greggs
If your parents knew that Greggs was about to form a staple part of your diet, we’re not sure they’d approve. However, Greggs has something for everyone, and if you buy a sandwich deal and show the server your student ID or a Student Beans card, you can get a sausage roll, vegan sausage roll, cheese and onion bake, or a sweet treat for absolutely nothing. That’s right - free sausage roll (maybe one for Mum?).
But wait, there’s more!
Student Beans are running a pizza promotion until the 1st of March where you get a FREE margherita or pepperoni pizza slice. All you need to do is get a unique code from your Student Beans account, add it to your wallet on the Greggs app, and scan it in store or redeem it online when you check out.
Free pizza just in time for National Pizza Day. Yes, it’s a real thing. Yes, it’s a perfectly valid excuse to eat a lot of pizza.
See Greggs terms and conditions.

25% off food at Slug & Lettuce
Between Sunday and Thursday at a Slug & Lettuce near you, you can get 25% off selected meals, making eating out a bargain. You just need your student ID and to download MiXR, which is a handy little app full of deals at bars and pubs.
If you like your meal to come with endless Prosecco, how about a bottomless brunch?* With the same combo of app and ID, you can drink and eat as much as you like for only £25 between Sunday and Friday - and at that price it’d be rude not to.

50% off Domino’s
One whole pizza for half the price? It’s just so crazy it might work! With a Student Beans account, you can get 50% off any full price pizza at Domino’s. That includes a pizza with extra toppings, fancy bases and stuffed crusts. We’ve triple checked the Ts and Cs, because that all sounds too good to be true, but apparently, it’s not. Pizza tonight, anyone?

30% off Just Eat
Another Student Beans mega deal is this one - 30% off selected takeaways at Just Eat. Just enter your code as you check out and food will be delivered straight to your door with a side of savings.

Free burgers at Burger King
We know the feeling - you get to the checkout of a fast-food restaurant and think, “Actually, today I’m hungry enough for two burgers.” Well, you’re in luck! If you show your student ID when you’re paying for a Chicken or Vegan Royale, Burger King will give you another one totally free. That’s two burgers for the price of one, meaning you can either have a great time eating twice as much, or share it with a very lucky friend. They owe you next time.

25% off Chiquito and Las Iguanas
How many burritos can you eat before your body gives in? You could soon find out! If you order two or more mains at Chiquito and show your student ID or Student Beans ID, you’ll get 25% off your total bill. Stick your fake sombrero on and enjoy.
Over at their Latin American rival, Las Iguanas, you can get 25% off food and drinks between Sunday and Thursday. One student ID will get a table of up to six people the discount, meaning no fumbling around in bags for cards at the end of the meal. Heads up though - if you’re studying in Scotland, this discount is only valid on food.

20% off Frankie & Benny’s
With a Student Beans account or TOTUM card, you can get 20% off any order at Frankie & Benny’s. Picture the scene - you’ve just finished a series of very tough lectures, you and your housemates are desperate for some carbohydrates, and right in front of you is pile of pasta with a very tasty 20% off. Suddenly everything is alright again.
Frankie and Benny’s also offer unlimited coffee refills until 4pm, so you can feel both tired and wired at the same time. Good luck.

20% off Nando’s
Everyone’s favourite cheeky chicken restaurant will give you 20% off your order between Monday and Wednesday, 11:30am to 10pm, if you show a valid student ID. This is only available when you’re dining in, so pick your heat level carefully and enjoy.

Donut discounts at Krispy Kreme
Let's finish, as all good meals do, on pudding. Krispy Kreme will give you 10% off your donut order if you show a student ID, giving you the perfect sugary boost to get your work done. Warning: your fingers will be sticky, and it will make a mess of your keyboard. Wash your hands and don’t eat while typing. We’ve been burned before.
