Being a college student can be tough, especially when you’re living on a budget and you’re always hungry. Luckily for you, Tallahassee is a great place to find cheap food that will satisfy your appetite. Here’s a list of some of the best food deals around town so you can still ball out on a budget!

1. Monday:

If you’re in the mood for some good, affordable Mexican food, Moe’s is the place for you. On “Moe Mondays,” the restaurant has a deal for a burrito/burrito bowl, fountain drink and unlimited chips for $5.99. You really can’t beat that.

2. Tuesday: 

Bandido’s Burritos

Adding to the affordable Mexican food trend, Bandido’s Burritos is THE place to be on Taco Tuesdays. $1 tacos are the absolute best kinds of tacos (even though all tacos are fantastic) so clear your schedule next Tuesday and take advantage of this deal!

Listen up, because this next deal is one you probably didn’t know about and don’t want to miss out on. Half priced burgers every Tuesday from 5 p.m. to close. Plus, it gets even better. You can get any shake or ice cream slushie for half price after 8 p.m. Who knew Sonic was the place to be after-hours?

Taco Tuesday is my favorite day of the week so I had to put at least two deals in here. Every Tuesday at Tijuana, you can get two tacos, a fountain drink and unlimited chips for $5.99! There’s honestly nothing more attractive than a good taco Tuesday deal, am I right?

3. Wednesday:

This one is for all you 21+ peeps who love a good deal. Starting at 6 p.m. every Wednesday night, The Edison offers $4 off select wines and $10 off all bottles! Not to mention, half off appetizers. Sounds like a deal you can’t resist.

4. Thursday:

Beef ‘O’ Brady’s

This is the deal you probably never heard of and never knew you needed. $9.99 fajitas every Thursday. How much more do I even need to say? Do not waste this opportunity to get yourself a big plate of food at an affordable price.

Tijuana Flats is just so incredible and they offer so many great deals, I had to include them twice. Every Thursday they offer a burrito, fountain drink and unlimited chips for $5.99. That’s pretty hard to resist!

5. Friday:

Smoothie King

If you aren’t already aware of this deal, allow me to enlighten. Every Friday at your local Smoothie King, you can get a medium-sized smoothie for $5! If you’ve seen Smoothie King’s sizes, you know this is a great way to get your money’s worth. A smoothie this size can probably last you up two days, so don’t miss out on this opportunity!
