Shitty exchange rate, any place in europe worth visiting?
My wife and I wanted to visit possibly Spain or Italy from here in Arizona US,
but have been hearing horror stories about the current exchange rate.
A while back we visited California, and I really got tired of being ripped
of on everything. I can't imagine how Europe would be right now.
I was wondering if anybody might have some advice on visiting europe on the
cheap? Stuff like renting a room with kitchen access and getting local
groceries instead of paying for restaurant meals, etc.

Can you really not work this sort of thing out for yourself?
Whilst it is not common in Europe to get rooms with kitchen equipment, it is
possible to save money on dining by buying pre-cooked food in supermarkets
for pic-nic lunches and by eating in cheaper establishments or local
takeaways (i.e not McDonalds).
TBH, after you have paid 6-700 dollars (or perhaps more) for a flight, is
the cost of eating in a snack bar or small restaurant really going to be a
problem?
Why are you travelling this 8000 mile trip? Is it to see a tourist location
or experience the culture? If it just the former, then eat supermarket
lunches, they do exist in Europe.
And if the hotel breakfast is extra, just don't go. You don't need an all
you can eat breakfast and buying your cofee&croissant in a local cafe will
cost half (or less) the hotel price.
