GREAT ideas!

In Italy, it was a loaf of bread and a 2-liter bottle of orange Fanta in a backpack supplemented with fruit from street markets and cheeses from little shops.

In Russia, it was shaverma (like the shwarma).

In Germany, it was the hotel breakfast as late and large as possible (broechen, Nutella, pate, meats, cheeses, coffee, etc.).

In England, it was pub food, curry nights, train stands, full English breakfasts, beans on toast, and Tesco for their ready-made meals.

Also, don't spend change until you have to. Near the end of the trip, when you're feeling broke and wondering how to pay, you simply pull out your bag of change and can pay for nearly everything. Added bonus, loose change makes for a GREAT souvenir for people back home!
