]]>Eat Before Your Flight
If you don’t want to get hungry on the plane, eating beforehand is your best bet, especially if your flight is pretty short. Eat something light and do it at home instead of buying food at the airport restaurants because they tend to charge as much as airlines do.
Bring Snacks
Why buy overpriced airplane snacks when you can bring your own along? A lot of travelers pack snacks before heading to the airport, but it’s important to make the right choice. Avoid sweets and salty snacks because you’ll be craving water after eating them, and go with foods that won’t spoil too fast.
Perfect Choice
If you’re embarking on a long flight, eating on a plane is a must so it’s important to be careful with your choice. Opt for a meal that’s filling enough and avoid buying snacks and drinks. Alcohol is best avoided due to its dehydrating effect.

]]>Free Breakfast
Buffet breakfast is one of the biggest perks of staying at a hotel, and some of them offer them free of charge. Book a hotel that does if you can find one, and make the best out of the first meal of the day by having a big breakfast. Also, take some fruits and snacks to go whenever possible.
Grocery Shopping
Your room most likely comes with a mini fridge, but you should avoid it at all costs. All the things available inside it can be bought at a local supermarket for at least twice less. If you want to eat some snacks and have a drink in between meals, grocery shopping is a much better option than using a hotel mini bar.
Eat Outside
Instead of eating every meal at a hotel, eat outside whenever possible. In addition to being a more affordable alternative since hotel food tends to be overpriced, it will also allow you to immerse in the culinary scene of the country that you’re visiting because you’ll get to try many local specialties.

]]>Don’t Go Overboard
You may be tempted to buy a lot of food when shopping in a new country, but make sure not to go overboard. This especially applies to food that can’t stay fresh for too long, such as veggies and fruits, because it’s too much trouble to carry them with you as you move to the next city.
Plan Accordingly
When buying groceries, keep in mind how long you’re sticking around at your current destination. Less is more in this case, because you’ll feel tempted to eat out and try street foods at some point, and your groceries might go to waste. If you don’t want to take them on the road with you, check if your hostel has space for free food in the fridge and kitchen.
Take Leftovers
If you’re eating out and the portions are too big, don’t be embarrassed to ask for leftovers. By doing so, you’ll save money on your next meal, because you can simply reheat the leftovers instead of buying groceries and cooking a whole new meal.

]]>Do Your Research
All of the street foods are going to be available at the Christmas market, and it’s good to know what you want in advance. Local vendors will be happy to help you out, but you’ll have an easier time navigating in the big crowds after doing some research on your own.
Look Around
Christmas markets can be so crowded during peak hours that it’s difficult to just look around before making up your mind, but you should do this if you have time. Prices can differ, and you may always end up finding something you like more at another food stand.
Safe Choice
If you’re not a huge fan of street foods, but still want to try some local delicacies during your Christmas market adventure, candies and desserts are always a great idea. You can even buy some for your friends and family back home because they don’t take up too much space.
