Here are some useful tips on how to handle your Meal Points…
If you are running out:
1) Budget your meal points by referring to the usage chart found on the Cal Dining website. It tells you how many MPs you should have every week.
2) Mooch off of a friend who has way too many.
3) Purchase more meal points!
4) Take some fruit or other items to go, but not too much, from the dining halls to save for later! You don’t need to eat at a buffet every meal.
If you have too many:
1) Swipe your friends in!
2) Buy some essentials at Bear Market. You can get toothpaste, detergent, tissues, deodorant, and other vital hygiene products. Delicious mocha ice cream and pints of
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream are found here! Yum! There are also similar markets at Foothill and Clark Kerr.
3) Donate to the food pantry! Just ask any cashier about it at a Cal Dining Hall location!
4) Buy a lot of snacks and have a party!
Happy spending and saving!
