Chipotle Giveaway!

Hey everyone. So, tonight Chipotle offered free food for Cal Poly students and faculty during their grand opening. I stopped by to get in on the free burritos, but the line was already a mile long at six o'clock! I figured that writing my senior project paper was more important so I decided to drive home. Did anyone take advantage of this opportunity? I hope so!

The Day After

Today I enjoyed a nice Subway sandwich for lunch. I ordered the sub of the day: a turkey and ham sandwich. I had the worker pile as many veggies as he could. Eating that sandwich was a nice way to begin life as it was before my project. I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow and buying lots of fruit and veggies to make a really delicious salad. KSBY did a story on my project for their news show tonight. Here is the link to the story: http://www.ksby.com/player/?video_id=2729&zone=1&categories=1. Thank you everyone for supporting me! :)

The Last Day!!!


I did it. Today is my very last day of my project. I didn't know if I would make it or not. The only remaining food were two cups of rice, two potatoes, one tbsp of jelly, one egg, and two cups of green beans. I didn't think I would have any food left over at the end of the month. Also, if anyone signs up with Woodstocks e-mail program, they will receive a coupon for a free pizza. My friends and I went to Woodstocks to celebrate the end of my project. They ordered a Hawaiian and I used the coupon to order a Garlic Bird. We all shared the pizza equally. This project proves that people are able to eat off of one dollar a day and there is free food available in San Luis Obispo. People should take advantage of those coupons that come in the mail, Costco samples, special business deals, and club meetings at school. Dumpster diving is an extreme option, which I never fully participated in, but I'm sure that if I was desperate enough I would have dug through trash. I would like to thank all of my friends, family, boyfriend, senior project adviser, and all of you followers for supporting me through this project.
