Pay over $10 for a meal? You have got to be kidding, right? Enter me, the proverbial cheapskate when it comes to buying food. There’s something in me that rises up against the thought of actually spending money on food when I can get some from home without paying anything. However, there are those days when the fridge is empty and there’s nothing available that is even remotely appetizing… the days when the thought of not eating for the next 8-9 hours is unbearable…those days where I grudgingly concede and buy myself some lunch. Even then, I have to confess to selecting my lunch on how much it costs, with around $5-7 being the preferred amount. Luckily, there are many ways to avoid spending unnecessary money. For example:
· Try avoiding the campus hub until around 2-2.30pm. The lunch rush will have ended and outlets will start to reduce prices.
· Don’t ever buy water. It’s a complete waste of money. Take your own water bottle from home and refill at the drinking fountains all over the university.
· Try downsizing! Smaller sizes are always cheaper.
I’ve found that the Thai Kiosk & the Sandwich Shop (located in the Campus Hub) are generally very reasonably priced…and yummy! There are lots of cheap, tasty options out there…so spend a bit of time looking around and keep your eyes open. There’s absolutely no need to spend ridiculous amounts of money on your lunch!
