Cheap and Free Food in Europe
There are many ways to save on food in Europe, and we're not talking about eating rice and noodles in the hostel everyday. Through a bit of exploration you can find the cheap places and ways to get your food for free. This post has a few ideas where you will be able to save a bit of money that you can spend elsewhere.
When booking your accommodation try to stay somewhere that has breakfast included in the price. In particular somewhere that provides fresh fruit in the breakfast menu. Most good booking engines have a link to the hotel or hostel with the best of them showing what's included in the menu. So, in the morning whilst you're enjoying your bowl of cornflakes, slip a few pieces of fruit into your daysack, a banana, apple or whatever, it will keep you going for most of the day. While staying at a hostel in Paris some years ago I met a young backpacker who'd grab a few pieces of sliced bread and/or rolls, then during the day when sight-seeing he'd buy some cheap cheese (if none was available at the hostel) and wine, and enjoy a lunch by the Seine each day.
