Difficulty: Moderately challenging
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Study your college food plan options and know their weaknesses. Are you on a point system per meal or item eaten, or do you pay a flat rate per quarter or semester?
Step2
Know whether you are a bulk eater or someone who just snacks a lot. Choose the plan that best fits your eating habits.
Step3
Invite yourself to a friend's dorm or cafeteria. Often colleges don't care where you eat and have trouble tracking how much you eat.
Step4
Eat seconds whenever possible, or box up food to take with you for later.
Step5
Assume that if doors are unlocked and food is on display, it is meant for your liberal consumption.
Step6
Visit friends in fraternities and sororities for meals.
Step7
Read the school papers and other local rags for restaurant deals and coupons.
Step8
Shop at the discount stores where you can buy in bulk.
Step9
Cook at home if you have the option.
Step10
Work in food service for extra cash and free meals, either at a campus facility or in the restaurant industry.
Step11
Find a rich girlfriend or boyfriend who likes to eat out.
