The post 3 Ways to Save Money on Food While Traveling appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>One of the easiest ways to save money while traveling is to purchase ingredients from a local grocery store and make your own breakfast. Foods such as instant oatmeal, cereal, or fruit and peanut butter are typically quite affordable and are easy to prepare when you don’t have access to a kitchen. Many hotels and hostels also offer complimentary tea and coffee.
Fancy restaurants in high-traffic areas will often mark up their prices knowing that tourists are willing to pay for the convenience. When dining out on a budget, try to avoid tourist traps by doing some research about local markets or street food vendors, where you’re likely to find more affordable options. If you know anyone living in your destination, ask if there are any spots they recommend.
When we travel, we tend to get hungry quite frequently—Walking around and exploring a new place can be physically taxing, and it’s important to eat enough to keep our energy levels up. If you can relate, it can be helpful to include a few pre-packaged snacks in your suitcase should you need them. Think healthy, nutrient-dense options like granola bars or mixed nuts.

Cheap and easy to store for long periods of time, oats provide long lasting slow-release energy as well as being high in fiber and minerals. Not only that, but they are so easy to eat. All you really have to do is add water. Keeping a bag of oats in your bag or car is a great way to make sure you always have the reserves you need.
Another easy one to store, lentils are high in energy, fiber vitamins and minerals. This can replenish depleted energy stores as well as improve the immune and digestive systems. Just boil in water, and they’ll be perfect.
While potatoes can be quite heavy and don’t last as long as the previous two foods, they are also great to have with you. You can be quite creative with how you cook them, and they provide slow release high energy.

Trying traditional specialties is an essential part of your trip, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to eat out for every meal. You’ll save a lot of money by picking a hostel that comes with a free breakfast or a shared kitchen where you can prepare your own food.
Being reasonable with money is important, but you shouldn’t be saving up every penny. Treat yourself by having a meal at the cute restaurant that you really like. You can still eat on a budget by opting for lunch instead of dinner because this tends to be a more affordable option.
