Didn't buy a shirt last year cause I was strapped for cash, however this year ill probably buy a shirt or two and some pipes, for show of course .
Other than that you will find stuff to spend on if you wish. Its just not like it used to be on Shakedown (a road that vendors are infamous for selling items on)
Centeroo also has a nice variety of items for sale. Hiena(SP?) tattoos, cool clothing, etc.

I bought a blue tie dyed vendor Bonnaroo shirt that makes me look like an idiot with its horrible color scheme. Buy anthing shirtwise on the first day, because it will be gone by Saturday.

I go VIP so the only food I buy is breakfast, usually a breakfast sandwich at the pizza stand next to the coffee tent. I buy beer of course. VIPs get a shirt, so I don't buy another. My favorite purchase was the guitar autographed by Panic I got at the silent auction last year. bonnaroo.proboards21.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=1185992692&page=1

I can positively say that we will purchase a T shirt or two. Hell we've already purchased T's from the roo store specificely to be worn as an identifying mark for the wally world pre-festival meet n greet.
Gotta love the boot-leg t-shirts. They come to you. No waiting in line
Unfortunately, most of the bootleg shirts also come with poor designs, imo. I've seen a few good ones, but most of them are generic looking tie-dyes that I wouldn't put anywhere near my body.

eat one arepa on thursday and you'll be coming back twice a day
other than arepas you should definetely get a shirt and if strapped for cash buy one from a guy on the side of the road while your waiting in line to get in.
whenever you stumble back to your site at night you'll probably want a snack and nothing is better than $1 garlic grilled cheese
besides food you'll probably spend money on beer, unfortunately ice, and if you're like most I know you'll also spend the rest of your money at shakedown on assorted goodies

another vote for $1 garlic grilled cheese
also there's an amazingly good angus cheeseburger in centeroo. after a long day of walking and not eating anything, it was one of the best things ever
oh and a pesto mozzadilla, for sure..... i love roo food.
fyi, the bonnaroo merch (shirts, posters, etc...) can be bought after the festival on the bonnaroo site. artist shirts sell out quickly, so if you are torn between the two, definitely go for the latter.

I always get some parking lot shirts, for myself and some for friends and family. Most of my cash goes for beer and food, I loves me some Bonno-chow - arepas, chinese, pizza, grilled cheese, smoothies... (wipes drool from chin)
I wish I had had thousands of dollars to spend at 'Roo last year! I brought about $400 (for the fest and for the next week I had off at the beach with friends) and I think I spent about $200 getting a lot of great memories, no real tangible items though.

I bought a pretty nice bootleg shirt in '06 for like 5 bucks on sunday, but when I got it home I discovered the design on the front was crooked and off-center...it was only 5 bucks so not that big of a deal, but it looks ridiculous and I never wear it...so if you're buying a shirt you know is a bootleg, it's probably a good idea to check it out thoroughly before handing over your cash...
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio."
to me, getting ice after brushing teef is a fun daily ritual. I love mounting the bag on my neck and having the melting water run down my back. By the time i get back to camp, i'm definitely wide awake.
