I like to eat but eating is just not a big thing to me! Just not a gourmand, I guess. When I travel in Europe I save a lot of money that way. The places I stay in Austria and Italy (my two prime countries of travel) all come with lovely breakfast spreads. These can hold me until mid afternoon, at which point a restaurant meal or picnic lunch suffices. Back at the hotel after a long day of sight seeing is the time for a glass of wine and a munchie or two. In short, I rarely will have a restaurant dinner and thus save $$$ that way. I also scope out smaller family run pensions or B & Bs, never opting for major ($$$) hotels. And I take local public transportation. These things save a lot of money; hence, I'm able to travel fairly inexpensively.
