It wasn't 3 weeks, but I only had a 5 day meal ticket, while at college. So, I would tank up Friday night at the cafeteria, eat all I could, because it would be Monday morning before I had another meal. Then go down to Safeway's and on Friday they put the fruit on sale. For a couple of dollars, I would get a bag full of fruit, usually oranges. Whichever fruit was on sale, was what I ate for the weekend. I'll eat fruit, but not very often.
