Europe on a Budget (Part 2)

Europe on a budget is possible if you are also willing to skip the good food that might be available and settle your own meals.

I know that this is probably common sense but making your own sandwiches could really be much cheaper compared to eating fast food in some European countries. For example, Kentucky Fried Chicken in London for two people could easily cost 10 pounds. It might be much easier if you just settle for bread and save up that money for a longer trip, an air ticket or a rail ride.

So what are the things that you should bring to make sure that you can survive Europe on a budget? I would like to think that there are really a few items that you could bring that could go on a long way to help you save the money.

Here is my list to help you save money while travelling in Europe:

1. Water bottle (Drink from your water bottle instead of buying can drinks at tourist spots)
2. Teabags or 3-in-1 coffee mix
3. Plastic knife (for spreading jam or peanut butter on your bread)
4. Containers/lunch boxes/plastic wraps (to store your food)
5. Biscuits
6. Muesli Bars
7. Raisins
8. Dried Fruits/ Preserved Fruits

As far as possible, do your shopping in the grocery stores that the local shop in. Try not to buy things at tourist spots as the prices there are usually marked up like 100% to 200%.
