Bread might go stale, maybe even moldy. Cereal bars are the way to go!

[Babyquack]

Brioche! I always bring some to any festival - goes a long way, doesn't go off over the weekend and is tasty as heck!

[TheSilence]

You could go all student-y and take loads of pot noodles

Which site are you going to? If Reading, you can just go to Tesco every other day to get food, that way you can get fresh food at normal prices. If Leeds you'd need to stock up a bit more.

It's on a sort of sliding scale. If you didn't drink 1 pint of lager, then that would save you 1 pint of lager's worth of money. However, if you didn't drink 20 jugs of Pimms and 5 Jaegerbombs, that would save you 20 jugs of Pimms and 5 Jaegerbomb's worth of money.

So my advice would be to try to not drink the largest quantity of the most expensive alcohol, in order to maximise your savings.

If you don't drink then not drinking at R&L isn't really going to 'save' you money.

Crisps are good to take. Don't go off and they are lightweight. May get crushed but you can still eat them

[the wonderwhy]

The tesco version of pringles are where it's at

[giantwagon]

Big tub of pasta with pesto, lasts the whole weekend.

[sjseabass]

Mini cheddars! Hardly any space wasted in the packet for air, can grab a pack and shove it in your pocket whenever.

But yeah, cereal bars. I'm quite tempted by the brioche idea too.

[Mash011]

3 boxes of pop tarts is my food for the weekend.

[Gucci Piggy]

Take a 24 pack of crisps, forget about them and remember them at 6am Monday morning when you're absolutely hammered and on the brink of death.

This.

[cagetheginger]

are there any other places to buy alcohol apart from tesco at reading, like an off licence?

Yeah there's a few corner shops dotted around as well as a Tesco petrol station and a Waitrose.
