The not-so-good news: Food and drink prices?

gravy train truck for dinner was amazing sunday night. think it was around $8 for the traditional poutine.

$6 for a latte seems steep; i was paying $4 for a double espresso + coffee.

The lattes at the coffee place in the lobby area were $6. And tasty.

I discovered the veggie hard shell tacos at the Las Casuelas stand this year. Soooooo tasty! I had no less than 3 different groups of people ask me where I got them.
Don't remember how much they were but they were so satisfying.

pretty sure most ppl have 1 meal of snacks they brought at their campsite in the morning then drugs for dinner

^ ding. Ding. Ding. You think you will care about food, but you won't. I don't remember being hungry one time, and all I ate was almonds and beef jerky. Earlier in the festival we did purchase two trays of two tacos each, with two waters and two cokes and it was $38. It tasted like $6 though.

Last year I brought too much $$$ to Coachella.

This year I didn't bring enough and had to use the ATM.

Next year I'm bringing too much $$$. Fucking fees.

Those Animal Fries (garlic fries, pulled pork & coleslaw) were delicious

I was happy to see the crepe place back this year. in 2010 I had a spinach and artichoke crepe and it was the best meal I've ever had inside the festival grounds. they didn't have that type this year, but the chicken and brocolli and seafood crepes were equally as good. they were $9-10.50.

I really wanted to try one of those crepes, but I just never made it over there. Same with the Lime Truck.

Use Schwab as your bank. They pay ALL ATM fees. Boom.

the security guards will enjoy those granola bars

bastards caught my granola bars.
always hide them deep in your backpack or in your bra or something.

to cut down on food prices, I just find the biggest plate and eat half for lunch and wrap the other half up for dinner. burritos work well for this. they're usually between 7-9 dollars.
the pizza and garlic fries are the best food at camp though, imo.
