I second the "pack a lunch"

Submitted by ashpags on January 25, 2008 - 12:47.

I second the "pack a lunch" suggestion, and would add "stop at a grocery store" under the same category. I studied in Italy for a semester and we spent a lot of time on field trips and traveling on our own. After a few weeks of buying meals at restaurants we realized how quickly it would add up. We started finding a small grocery store (un'alimentari, in Italiano) in whichever town we were visiting and buying food there. The bread was baked fresh each day, and the cheese and meats were always delicious. It also gave us a chance to try the various local foods we couldn't get everywhere. And, it usually only cost a few Euro per meal. =)
