You still get 7 mark outs a week. Before your days off stock up on food on your shift. Fellow broke college student here, you got this.

Mark out a drink before your day off with no ice or whip then just add ice the next day.

Pro tip, mark out a venti cup of milk so you dont have to buy any at the store. Rinse and repeat every time you work, just need to buy the cereal :)

Get all 7 of your food items your first shift of the week at your home store. I can also see my SM allowing you to come and get it even if you have no shift that particular day, as long as you are at your “home” store. Just no free beverage if you have no shift, use your discount if you must have one on an off day. Also, I see no prohibition against getting your coffee bean mark out on an unscheduled day. Mark out your beans, get them ground and make coffee at home. I use a $6.99 Melitta pour over cone that I love. It fits right on my cup. Finally, if you like brewed tea, on a day when you work, mark out a brewed tea, hit the “add a tea bag” button a couple times, take home all 3 or 4 tea bags in their packaging. If you are in one of those stores that doesn’t let you do your own mark outs, make sure that partner handling it knows you want your tea dry in the package and your food cold in the package

Borrowing has always helped me

The way I see it that’s just a pay cut.
