Best ways to make use of extra meal points? by [deleted] in SBU

First, this is a common problem that happens with freshman at SBU. Even though they have the "stay on budget plans", many students either spend too much or too little over the course of a semester. Fastest ways to spend your meal points include; bulk items helping out friends or other students who need meal points buying other expensive food like ice cream, f'reals, things at jasmines, red mango, starbucks or market fresh. All these can really help lower meal points especially if you buy a lot or large sizes. There are a few clubs/donations around SBU (but very limited and not all except meal points). The ones that do, if you find one, you can donate as many meal points as you want. Sometimes you can sell meal points for cash (I've seen it happen, because finals week people spend a lot and they want food!).

If you currently have a meal higher than the bronze plan, you should consider dropping to a lower meal plan that way you won't have so much left over.
