One of the coolest programs I have ever watched on the Food Network was called ‘$40 a Day.’ This show includes Rachael Ray as the host, and she is absolutely marvelous. I adore this program, because it has taught me how to travel on a budget and still eat at the country’s finest restaurants.
When I am prepping for a vacation or business trip, I always try to watch episodes of ‘$40 a Day’ on with cheap satellite tv . If I’m packing for a trip, I’ll just turn on an old episode that features the destinations that I will be going to see. If I counted how much money I have saved watching this show, it would probably be thousands of dollars! This show always inspires me to be conscious of how much money I am spending at restaurants.
One episode I watched with Rachael Ray featured a hotel in the area I was staying. Instantly, my mind was captivated. As I kept watching the program, I learned that Ray was actually eating at the restaurant in the actual hotel for which I was staying! She showed the audience which drinks were affordable at the bar of the very ritzy hotel. Without this knowledge, I would have never even stepped foot in the bar or restaurant of the hotel! I am very grateful for shows like ‘$40 a Day.’
