The day starts at 8:00 a.m., and you're feeling a bit peckish. Why not treat yourself to Hostess Frosted Donettes? You already ate a handful yesterday morning, but according to the box, they're fresh until August 1st. At $2.79 for the 14 oz. box, you've got a big breakfast with a tiny price.
Cost = $2.79 divided by the 4 breakfasts you can get out of one box = $.70
Break time! The university has generously provided coffee and tea during the interval. Have a cup of English teatime, free!
Class is over, and it's time for lunch! The weather's looking a little sketchy, so why not look at shit on the internet until the showers pass?
Now that the skies have cleared off a bit, grab your backpack and head west! The art museum doesn't serve any food, but you're just looking to kill time. Check out the modern art exhibit - ooh, don't those Warhol soup cans tempt your taste buds? It's 2:30, and it's time to find a great meal!
After ambling around downtown Ann Arbor for a half hour, you decide on Gratzi, because it's open and Italian sounds nice. You're the only one in the restaurant, so why not sit at the bar? Enjoy Gratzi's huge, classical painting-style mural while they prepare a signature dish, Pollo al Marsala. It's on the happy hour menu, so it's even cheaper than you'd think! So why not take that money you saved and buy a glass of shiraz? Enjoy its redness as you taste the bread and olive oil. Feeling frisky? Eat a few of the bar's pistachio nuts! They're on the house!
Cost = $10 entree + $6 wine + tip = $19.00
Total so far = $19.70
You're kind of sleepy from the wine, plus you've uncovered every hidden treasure downtown Ann Arbor has to offer - why not trudge back to your dorm room and look at shit on the internet all evening? Sure, you're kind of hungry again around 10:00 p.m., but you'll be asleep in a few hours, and you don't get hungry when you're asleep!
Total for the day = $19.70
See you in the morning for lil' chocolate donuts!
