I spent 9 days in Budapest on $310 and the hostel kitchen was the worst part
Everyone in this sub acts like hostel kitchens are the holy grail of cheap travel, but mine was a disaster last October. The free pasta shelf was there, sure, but 14 people fighting over 2 burners meant I waited 40 minutes just to boil water. I gave up and ate gas station sandwiches for 3 days, which cost me 6,000 forints total and honestly hit the spot. The real win was the $1.20 bowl of goulash at the market hall near my place, not anything I cooked myself. I still saved a ton, since 9 days cost me $310 all in, but the kitchen myth needs to die. What's your go-to cheap meal when the hostel stove is a war zone?

Ha, is waiting 40 minutes to boil water really a crisis worth writing about? Just eat the gas station sandwich and move on with your trip.
