Eating at Coachella.

[Krsjuan06]

Hello, I am wondering, how much should I put aside to eat at Coachella. My intentions are to eat from the Food Trucks, the Breakfast Buffet, and Farmers Market. How much should that run me for 4 days?

Where is this?

Are you a big eater?

It really varies - I can live on a $6 slice of Spicy Pie and $5 pretzel each day if I have snacks in camp, but spend $20 a day on water/lemonade (w/some free water refills.) If you are going to eat 3 meals then a minimum of $30 a day for food (and probably more) but don't forget to plan for water.

I am planning on two meals a day, hearty breakfast, evening lite dinner to prepare for the long night.

So ten bucks a meal?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I you want a full meal, yeah. You can get a big slice of pizza or a sausage for like $5/6 depending. Water is $2.

[alpha_q_up]

normally its about 10-15$ for a meal and drink depending on what you get

Bring an empty container to refill at the water stations inside the fest. Save maybe $10/day on water you would've bought (~5 bottles per day is not unheard of).

Hey I just posted that in the meme thread!

Got it from Tosh.0 though I will admit.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Can you bring any kind of empty container in or does it have to be an empty $2 bottle that was bought?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

You can bring in empty sports bottles and stuff like that. No glass or metal from I recall.

[indietron]

You can bring in any empty water bottle, as long as it isn't metal

This is new, right? I didn't go last year.

I thought they had this in 2010 too..

[billtino]

The newly posted interactive maps state:
Water Refill Station - Fill any empty container with free drinking water in any our four Refill Stations.

I only count three on the map, but i'm blind as a bat.

*CORRECTION*
The 4th free refill station is in Car Camping Lot 8.

[Stickjohn]

Whoa - a water refill station in the Campgrounds? That's almost new thread worthy - awesome news.

edit: Do it billtino
