Traveling on a budget often means eating in and not getting to see all the Instagram-friendly restaurants and cafés you saw online. If you don’t to miss out on these picture-perfect spots, here are some strategies that will help you set aside some money to check them out.
Right Choice
You’ll discover many Insta-friendly cafés and restaurants in the city you’re visiting, but you don’t have to check them all out. Research your options and try to opt for a few places that fit into your budget.
Have a Budget
Speaking of your budget, it’s also a good idea to explore pricy restaurants with a spending cap in mind. There are times when a drink or dessert is all you can afford, so try to stick to these choices if you want to avoid breaking the bank.
Explore the Menu
When traveling on a budget, it’s a good idea to always check restaurant menus online. This will give you enough time to find items that you can afford and decide where you’re going to eat based on this information.
Have a Reservation
If you’re not sticking in one city for too long and there are cafés and restaurants you really want to visit, making a reservation is always a good idea. If a restaurant in question has a happy hour, consider making a reservation during this time to save some money.
