Eat Well on a Budget Around the World – Travel Tips & Hacks Blog
One of the biggest aspects about traveling is food. Enjoying interesting new foods in a foreign city is always sure to make your trip more enjoyable, but it doesn’t have to cost you a lot of money – neither does filling up fast. Here are some ways to eat well on a budget.
Eat Locally
Enjoying the food that is part of the culture of the country you’re visiting is an important experience when you travel, but make sure it is locally produced as much as possible so that you can save some money. Also avoid fast food even though it is marketed as being a ‘cheap on the run’ meal idea. For starters, it seems to be a bit of a pity to opt for fast food when you have so many interesting local choices available, plus it can work out to be much more expensive than the local food. This is often the case in Asia, for example. You might be craving a burger during your time in Vietnam, but this choice could work out to be three times more expensive than a bowl of pho.
Skip the Dinners for Street Cuisine
Outdoor vendors are small stands that sell the public an array of quick foods, such as sausages, sandwiches or hot dogs. These are affordable and convenient ways for you to fill up while you explore the city. Other ideas are food stalls or open areas where food is cooked right on the street. This can be a fun way to try out the foods on offer and save money. Many street stall meals can cost less than a dollar.
Ask for Restaurant Specials
Many restaurants, such as those in Europe, offer customers specials where items on the dinner menu are offered at a large discount at lunchtime. You can get amazing afternoon meals for much less than what you would pay if you were having that meal in the evening. So if you are eating out, enjoy your large meal at lunchtime…………..
