In our current economic situation, saving money is important to everyone.
Here are some easy ways for you to cut down on the amount of discretionary money you spend.
If you live on campus, utilize your Dining Dollars! Since you've already paid for
them, you might as well spend them! If you get bored of the food at your dining hall, take a walk and try out the food in another dining hall. Don't forget you can also use your points at Earl's Place or Plaza on the Side (POTS) to buy food. You can make your own sandwiches or snacks.
Don't smoke! If you don't smoke now, don't start! It's an expensive and unhealthy habit. It may look cool, but you won't get many friends when you smell like a cigarette.
Don't bring your car! Having a car on campus is unnecessary. UC San Diego students have a wonderful resource: the Free Bus Zone and campus shuttles. Buses go to all the major areas in San Diego and La Jolla: the beach, Ralphs/ Vons, Pacific Beach, Hillcrest, and Mira Mesa.
Use student discounts and get a UC San Diego Green Card: New green cards are available each year and have discounts to many places students frequent in La Jolla/ San Diego. Using student discounts cuts down on the cost of entertainment. The UC San Diego Box Office has discount tickets to the movie theatre, and Balboa Park has free museums every Tuesday.
