After Christmas, New Years, and reading week, and before St. Patty's, there is a huge open gap in the calenders of all Nipissing students. It is these weeks of tormentuous midterms, essays, cold weather, and general lack of anything to get excited for that two of the most important holidays in the school year occur: No Frills Dollar Days and Tim Horton's Roll Up the Rim.And that is why, today, when I walked into No Frills, my heart started beating faster and my hands got sweaty and I got a nervous giggle like I was about to open a great big present. I saw, on the flyer one great big DOLLAR SIGN ... followed by a ONE ... it's No Frills Dollar Days!
When you are in a town as small as North Bay, word spreads fast. And it spreads especially fast when it involves food for one dollar (see blog "Free Food"). Apparently I was the only one of my roommates that didn't know it was Dollar Days.
So now, Nip Students, I am passing on the holiday cheer to you ... go! Scoop up your $1 Fruitopia and Sidekicks and Bagels and French Fries (ooh! and I especially loved the $1 Smarties Ice Cream)! Because you're gonna make it through the next few weeks, all thanks to No Frills!
Happy Dollar Days!
Let's do this!
