Food
,no edit summary
Hitchhiker '''food''' consists can consist of cookies, crackers, granola bars, greens, peanut butter, etc.; anything that will give you energy, while at the same time being small, readily available, and not too prone to being smashed in your pack (such as potato chips).
If your budget is not so tight you will probably eat a lot at gas stations.
Free food is plentiful in much of Europe. Try sandwich shops, bakeries, patisseries and other places like that around closing time. Often you get enough bocadillos to last for a few days!
In the U.S., a tremendous amount of food can be recovered from dumpsters - just about any type of food that's sold will eventually show up in the trash. Grocery stores are the best, with large amounts of clean, fresh produce that's just ripe for eating but too ripe to sell, among other things. Another highly recommended option is to use [[Food Stamps]] when hitchhiking, which can make the difference between eating cheap food that's terrible for you and good, nutritious groceries you can pick out.
