- Don't live in student housing, if you can, especially if you are a transfer student. It costs $4,474 per quarter, equalling roughly $1491 per month. Most apartments in Davis are in the $500-$700/month range. Living on campus really doesn't benefit you much (I lived on campus my first year at UCD) since many apartments are a only a 5-15 minute bike to campus, and Unitrans (free for UCD students) can easily take you to and from campus.
- $10 Men's haircuts at Lily's Barber Shop on Olive Drive, across from The Lexington Apartments.
- My favorite place for cocktails is Paesanos Italian restaurant. Normally $8 a piece, but during Happy Hour they're 1/2 off! Go M-F 3-6pm for some of the best cocktails in town at $4 each! They have a fantastic cocktail menu, and make their Blood Orange Margaritas with real juice, unlike the places that use syrups.
- Get your groceries from Grocery Outlet, located on East 8th Street. So. Much. Savings.
- Furnish your apartment and get your material necessities from the Yolo SPCA thrift store on 3rd Street. I have gotten great apartment furniture, dishes and silverware, mugs, tons of cat scratching posts and cat toys, the perfect shoes to wear for my vet school interview, snorkeling gear, bike panniers, etc. at the YSPCA Thrift Store.
- At the Davis Whole Foods, show your student ID for a 10% discount off your entire purchase.
- Free printing for transfer students is located at the TRV in Dutton Hall.
- Apply for UC Davis scholarships every year. The application for the upcoming year is due January 6th. I have won $3,000 in scholarship money from UC Davis, and the only way to have been considered for it was by submitting this application. Visit http://financialaid.ucdavis.edu/scholarships/campus/index.html for more information on the 2016-2017 scholarship application, due January 6th 2016.
- Generally, the cheapest places to get gas are the gas station at 5th & L (note: cash is always ~20 cents cheaper than credit here) and the ARCO station on Russell & Anderson (cash only).
- Use your bike or take a Unitrans bus it to get around town and campus as much as possible. Parking permits for UC Davis are horrendously and unnecessarily expensive!
- Hungry? Raja's Tandoor on 3rd street features a delicious all-day all-you-can-eat Indian buffet for only $6 per person. Get a stamp card to earn a free mango lassi after 5 stamps, and a free meal after 10 stamps. It's located right off campus next to the UC Davis Study Abroad office.
- COFFEE: Get a punch card from the CoHo and CoHo South Cafe to get a free coffee beverage after 10 punches. Bring your own mug for a reduced-price refill later that day. They don't do reduced-price refills for disposable coffee cups.
- Use your Aggie Cash account to get 10% off food from on-campus dining locations such as the CoHo, CoHo South, and the Starbucks at the ARC. Upload money onto your AggieCard here: http://dining.ucdavis.edu/myaggiecash/MyAggieCash/myaggiecash.com/FAQ.html
- La Boheme on 3rd Street is one of my favorite consignment shops. They have great prices for stylish clothes in good condition. Many of my favorite pieces of clothing have been purchased here, even before I became a UCD student! Also, you can sell your clothes to La Boheme for cash or store credit.
- Work out at the ARC. Free membership for all UCD students, fully equipped gym. Take PE classes (covered by your tuition) to to get the most from your status as a student, and avoid GroupEx or MindBody series classes, which do cost money!

Thanks for the list. A couple gripes about your grocery store recommendations.

I have found that it Grocery Outlet carries most of the brands you can commonly find at a regular grocery store (Annie's Organics, Bagel Bites, etc.), and it is easy to avoid foods that seem low quality. The prepackaged salad mixes are exactly the same brand as what you'd get from the G-street Co-Op or Whole Foods, but 1-2 dollars cheaper, and as long as you're smart about checking the dates you'll be in good shape. It is true that Groc Out often gets flavors that weren't successful on other store's shelves.
