Pick 3 staples right now

A tiny travel-money hack that saves both cash and regret: if most of a fixed‑price buffet (~€30) doesn’t fit your diet or mood, don’t pay for the whole spread—buy just what you’ll actually enjoy now and keep the rest for a meal you’ll love later.

How to do it (quick rule):

Pick 3 staples right now: a protein (~€3–€8), a veg/salad (~€2–€5), and water (~€1–€2). Target spend now: ~€9. Pocket ~€21 for a later meal (pastry + coffee, real sit‑down dinner, or tomorrow’s breakfast).

Fast examples:

Hotel area café: rotisserie chicken cup (€4), mixed greens (€3), bottled water (€2) → €9 now, €21 saved. Grocery stop: tuna tin (€2), cherry tomatoes (€3), bakery roll (€1.5), water (€1.5) → €8 now, €22 saved. Food hall: grilled tofu skewer (€3.5), cucumber salad (€3.5), sparkling water (€2) → €9 now, €21 saved.

Why it works:

You avoid overpaying for variety you won’t eat. You keep energy steady (protein + veg + hydration). You reallocate spend to a later experience that’s intentional (a place you actually want, when you’re actually hungry).

Tiny template you can reuse:

Now: protein ___ (€__), veg ___ (€__), water (€__) → €__ Later fund: €30 − €__ = €__ Plan later: ___ (dessert/coffee/dinner/breakfast)
