You might be surprised to hear that during their five-day trip through one of Europe’s most expensive cities, Jerry and Judy only ate in a restaurant once. Otherwise, they bought ingredients from little stores and cobbled together their own meals. Actually if you’re willing to map out an eating plan that includes buying provisions at grocery stores and following some tips, you can save a sum of money on your travels, and still eat well. Plan Your Meals – Figure out where you will be and eat before you actually go out. This is not just good for your wallet, but also your stomach since you will probably find economical restaurants that taste great. Cook by Yourself – Not many people do this, but cooking while on vacation can sometimes be quite fun. Since the experience is new (cookware, dining area, supermarkets etc), it’s actually quite funny. Meals Carryover – Want a breakfast that cost nothing? Ask for some bread to-go at the restaurant the night before. Eat More at Lunch Than Dinners – Fancy lunches are often much less expensive than dinners. If you eat a big breakfast, lunch and a light dinner, it’s also healthier.
