Eating cheaply without a kitchen requires a "grocery-first" strategy and utilizing basic hotel amenities. You can use a hotel coffee maker to boil water for "just-add-water" meals like oatmeal, instant ramen, or couscous. If you have a mini-fridge, you can stock up on perishables like yogurt, cheese, deli meats, and pre-washed salad greens from a local supermarket. Building "no-cook" meals like sandwiches (peanut butter and jam or ham and cheese) or Mediterranean-style grazing plates with crackers, hummus, and fruit is significantly cheaper than dining out. Another strategy is to hit supermarket delis in the late afternoon, as many mark down their prepared hot foods (like rotisserie chickens or sushi) for a quick sale. When you do eat out, look for street food, food trucks, or "lunch specials" (prix fixe menus), which offer high-quality meals at a fraction of the dinner price. Carrying your own reusable utensils and a collapsible bowl makes "impromptu picnics" in public parks much easier. Finally, booking accommodations with free breakfast is one of the most effective ways to save, as you can often grab an extra piece of fruit or a roll for a mid-day snack later.
