pchockeymom said:Seriously Brenda?!? Really? Budget $10-$15 per day. At any restaurant, fancy or not so fancy, you can eat for $10. Breakfast is at the hotel (if included, or cheap-breakfast sandwich, granola bar and yogurt)., lunch is on PC, so dinner's all you have to pay for.
I know I've gone to PF Changs, ordered the sesuan (sp??) green beans, asked for a bowl of rice...$4, delish.
Plus the information you'll gain from talking with other consultants while out eating will be invaluable.
That's what I was going to say as well, between the breakfasts (Fri/Sat) and lunches (Thurs/Frid) PC provides, you really only have dinner (& your lunch on Sat) to worry about, and there are lots of options to keep it under $10. Most places have at least salads or sandwiches. If you go out with friends, see if someone wants to split a meal. My DH and I do it all the time- usually a restaurant brings you the meal either already divided or the extra plate. You save tons of money AND calories.By the time you go to the store to buy some food, you'll spend almost as much (trust me). We did it one night for my family only because we made some bad choices for finding food. We thought we'd find something along a particular route we walked after visiting a tourist site...we were WRONG! There were only bars (not cool with two kids under 9). So we ended up at the grocery store across the street getting whatever we could find that would work in our hotel microwave, etc. We spent nearly $40+ just for a couple of microwave pizzas, a bit of fruit, drinks and some sandwiches. They tasted terrible. But there is a grocery store across from the Embassy Suites hotel I believe. It's not as obvious as a store in the suburbs....it was in the ground floor of the building. I don't remember which store it was.ChefBeckyD said:There is also breakfast provided by PC. It's usually pretty extensive. Eggs, meat, fruit, cereals, yogurt, toasters w/ bread and bagels...coffee, juice, milk.
