Loeffel Meat Shoppe
Did you know UNL has its own meat shop? Loeffel Meat Shop is located on East Campus in the Animal Science Complex. All meat is processed by student butchers and often beats the price of grocery retailers.
In January, 80/20 ground beef was $6.64/lb from Walmart.
At Loeffel, you can pick up a pound of ground beef for just $4.31/lb (after showing your UNL ID to receive 10% off).

Free Bus Pass
All UNL staff and faculty can receive a free bus bass through StarTran. If you take the bus for your daily commute, we hope you’ve been taking advantage of this exceptional benefit already!
If you don’t ride the bus every day, we still think it’s helpful to sign up for a bus pass. Public transit is an eco-friendly and affordable transportation choice. The bus can also be a safe option to get home after a night out and save you money on gamedays by helping you avoid downtown traffic and premium parking rates.
P.S. Practice taking kiddos on the bus so they can learn a new skill, preparing them for college or visiting larger cities where transit is widely used.
