What kind of deals can you get around Mount Pleasant with your student ID?
Central Michigan University students’ ID can do more than get them into football games. Here are a few other places the CMU ID can be flashed for a discount:
Celebration! Cinema, 4935 E. Pickard Road, offers students $1 off ticket prices for movies showing after 6 p.m. And with their student ID, students can receive a coupon for $2 off on any combo at the concession stand at any time of business.
Manager Chris Couling said the theater offers great deals for students.
“Two dollars off anything is a good deal,” he said. “If you want pop and popcorn, this is a good way.”
Microchips, in the basement of the Bovee University Center, offers deals on computer software for students.
Dan Depottey, Zeeland senior and Microchips employee, said a student who purchases Adobe Creative Suite 4 computer software, which comes with Photoshop, Illustrator and several other programs, could save hundreds of dollars.
The software normally runs for $1,400 and Microchips sells it for $500, he said.
Depottey said the store also give student discounts on Apple computers that could save a student as much as $200.
Every fall, it also has a deal where students who purchase a computer get a free iPod. The deal ends Sep. 5, he said.
China 1 Buffett
Students who love Chinese food can receive 10 percent off their meals just by showing their student ID card at China 1 Buffet, 1711 S. Mission St.
Manager Jason Lian said the deal covers not just the buffet but everything on the menu.
“We’ve got good prices for students,” he said. “Saving money is always good, right now is a tough time.”
He said the restaurant also gives students the option of purchasing gift certificates.
Pizza Hut
Nino Disimone, manager of the 1216 S. Mission St. Pizza Hut location, said the restaurant offers students a buffet from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. everyday.
He said the buffet features pizza, pasta, breadsticks and cinnamon sticks.
“Students can come in at lunch and get a quick meal for cheap,” he said. “This is the best deal we got going on, you get everything.”
The buffet, with water, is $6.88 after tax and $8.47 with a soda.
