My cousin swore by packing a collapsible kettle for hostels, and it saved me about $50 on tea and instant meals in Edinburgh.
Has anyone found other small, packable items that cut down on daily food costs while traveling?

Okay but what about a little fold-up bowl and spork? My friend went to Japan last year and she said it was a total game changer. She'd just buy a bag of rice or some noodles from a market, use the hostel microwave, and have a cheap hot meal right there. I mean, she said it felt kinda silly at first but then she had way more money for actual fun stuff. It's not even about the big savings, just those little daily costs that add up so fast.

Totally agree with patricia_harris69 about the bowl and spork. Honestly, a reusable coffee filter is my go-to. I pack my own ground coffee and just use hot water from anywhere. Saves me from buying overpriced cafe coffee every single morning. Tbh, a tiny container of your own spices helps a lot too. Like, salt, pepper, and some chili flakes can make plain pasta or veggies from a grocery store taste way better. It sounds small, but it stops you from getting takeout just because your food is boring.
