How Austin Students Can Save Big on Food with Bitezar

If you’re a student in Austin, you already know how fast expenses add up: rent, textbooks, coffee runs, and of course, food. Between studying, classes, and everything else that fills your week, finding time (and money) to shop smart isn’t always easy.

That’s where Bitezar comes in.

Bitezar is a local marketplace that partners with Austin grocery stores to help them sell surplus and short-dated food items at discounted prices. The same high-quality groceries you’d find on the shelves, just offered for less. It’s a simple idea that helps everyone: grocery stores reduce food waste, and students get to save money on essentials.

How It Works

1. Browse local deals: On the Bitezar app or website, you can explore discounted items from local grocery stores and restaurants around Austin.

2. Shop what you need: Add your favorites: snacks, produce, pantry staples, cooked food, and more to your cart.

3. Get it delivered for free: When your order totals $15 or more, Bitezar delivers it to you at no extra cost.

You get affordable groceries without needing to leave your dorm, apartment, or study session — it’s a win-win.

Why It’s Perfect for Students

• Save money on essentials. Prices are lower because the food comes from stores’ surplus inventory, meaning you’re getting deals that aren’t available elsewhere.

• Save time. No need to run to multiple stores or wait in long checkout lines.

• Reduce waste. Every order helps keep good food out of landfills and supports a more sustainable local food system.

• Free delivery threshold. With free delivery on orders over $15, you can easily split an order with roommates or friends and pay nothing extra.

Good for Your Wallet and the Planet

Food waste is a huge issue in cities like Austin, and Bitezar’s mission is to make sustainability convenient. By connecting local stores’ extra food to people who can use it, Bitezar keeps perfectly good items from going to waste while helping students stretch their budgets further.

It’s a small action that adds up to real impact, both financially and environmentally.
