I'm a student with limited funds, how can I get cheap contact lenses?

Go online. Also, a lot of the contact lenses are repackaged. Most of them are made by Bausch and Lomb or Coopervision and put into whatever packaging they want for a particular price point.
I'd also massively recommend monthly lenses.

Are monthly lenses more rigid? I've been using dailies for years and like them, but they're fucking expensive compared to monthlies. I currently pay £30 for a months worth

Funny you should ask, there were lawsuits over this stuff.
I'd recommend giving monthlies a trial, a lot of opticians should do a month free.
