OTwo Editor Cillian Howley on how to save this autumn

By Cillian Howley | Sep 11 2026

Did you know that student card of yours can get more than trips to James Joyce? The cost-of-living is no joke, especially in this city. Thankfully, companies know students are paupers in need of a good deal to get in the door. So whether it's a burger, sushi or half a dozen doughnuts you’re after, keep reading.

A Unidays or a Studentbeans account will open you up to a world of deals and discounts.

On Unidays, Milanos offer a one-time 25% reduction on pizza to go when you order online. Spend 25 quid in Dominos and get 35% off. YO! Sushi can be found in Dundrum, Jervis and Liffey Valley and has a 20% student discount. In Wow Burger, students can get a burger, chips and a coke for just  €15. Wagamamas offers a 20% discount on Studentbeans.

Too Good to Go is too good to miss. Saving money and the planet with a single purchase? Win-win. At the end of the day, Offbeat Donuts has six doughnuts for seven quid on the app. With locations in Heuston, Pearse and Connolly, that might tide you over before you get home.

Much like with a Tesco Club Card, the “discounted” price mightn't seem like the best bargain ever, but it's still better than paying that inflated price for the things you like. Don't forget to always ask for a student discount when eating out!
