The Experiment
November 23rd, 2008
Experiments
You students, how much money do you spend on your food?
Ok, look what I thought. I want to try to live one week (7 days, 24h/day) just with the money spent in many ocassions at McDonald’s or KFC, just for one menu.
From today, November 23 2008, one week I will live just with a small amount of money.
So…how much money do I have to spend? Hm…about 16 RON. That means, almost 6$, 4 euros or 3 and a half pounds.
What do I want to show with this? That a student from Romania, can live, without eating just bread with ketchup or mustard, or starving, one week without very much money. This does not mean that all students should try this, or that they will spend less money from now on. I don’t know even if I can do this. So, don’t do this at home! My friend Alex, will take care of me in case I will not have any money, or anything to eat.
What do I want to do? Just to eat normally, as an ordinary student, for a week. No more mall, no more semi-prepared food, or any of these. All will be prepared home, by me. Today I was at the Auchan, and I bought:
1. 5 kg of potatoes
2. 1 pack of spaghetti
3. 2 yoghurts - “Casa buna”
4. 1 box of margarine- Delma Sandwich
5. 3 carrots
6. 2 green peppers
7. 3 onions
8. 3 boxes of liver pate
9. 1 lemon
10. 1 bread - for one day.
Total: 14 RON
I have 2 RON for 5 breads, each at 0.4 RON.
Hope to survive 
Wish me luck and support me!

ceva e gresit. lipseste esenta. carnea
si lamaia e in plus… ai luat-o in caz de greata de la atatia cartofi? -
@mickey - I will use a jar of jam, from home( I think that every student has one),some tomato sauce and a bit of oil.
@ania : carnea- pate, lamaia - pt ceai, sau pt diferite mancaruri in care mi-ar trebui.

Deci sa inteleg ca daca iti zic pofta buna nu ma inviti la masa :))
Lasa ca stiu cum e viata de student din ro.Salutari din Canada!
Apropos astia de aici merg la medic ca se le prescrie un regim de infometare asa ca nu fi stresat. Esti in dieta :)) -
@un roman in Canada: Salutari si din Romania!
Hm, nush daca voi slabi, pt ca bag multa cartofaraie in mine. Singura problema, dulciurile.
In rest, viata decurge normal, poate cu mai putine lucruri, si fara prea multa carne(pate-ul are 15% carne)
sper ca si alex e la dieta din asta
gud lac, presupun ca nu ne inviti si pe noi la masa
