We've definitely been into the many Penn kids trying to make it rich, but this time we're taking it a step further and trying to help you get rich-- by saving you money!
If you missed out on the PennEats fun last year, the card is back. The newly-expanded UniEats (so named because they've opened at Columbia and Northwestern, too) has 16 restaurants offering discounts. And for the first time, we're offering a deal of our own.
Use the code "UTBUniEats" to buy online today through Wednesday, August 30th and get $1 off the pre-sale card price. You put the code in on the second page of checkout. If you miss this week's opportunity, the cards are regularly $12 during NSO and $15 the rest of the year.
An $11 card could conceivably pay for itself in one week. But even if you don't dine out every night, over the course of a year you're more than golden. See our math after the jump if you're not convinced.
Here's a sample way to earn back your $11 with some standard things Penn kids would definitely buy. Honestly, you could accomplish this in a really yummy week:
- A burger and a margarita at Copa: Save $2.00
- Two beers and an entree at Tap House: Save $2.20
- A salad and drink at Gia: Save $1.00
- A burrito at Qdoba: Save $0.70
- A Penn Roll and Miso Soup at Pod: Save $1.50
- Two slices of pizza at Allegro's: Save $0.60
- Some Froyo at Kiwi: Save $0.50
- Hangover brunch at Metro: Save $1.20
- Takeout beers at Pizza Rustica: Save $1.30
- Eat at Gia once a week for about a semester
- Get an iced latte at Metro once a week this year
- Use your card when catering an event for 20-30 with Lee's Hoagies
- Get you and your friends SMASHED one night at Tap House-- on good beer!
- Dinner with your parents at Penne during move-in and again at Family Weekend (they'll do the saving for you!)
- A slice of Allegro's pizza once a weekend; like we don't end up doing this anyway
