I think and had expressed this view - that we should teach our young (and ourselves) how to cook. This is in reaction to what I observed in Europe where eating out (confirmed by my colleagues at NUS who are from either USA or Europe) is a luxury.
A meal would set one back by almost S$25-S$30 each. Groceries or packed food for easy cooking are definitely cheaper because the portions are big and can be consumed over a few meals - better yet shared.
A box of fried rice prepacked costs Euro$9 on the average and can last three meals (personal taste not withstanding ;p)
Staying in a bed and breakfast of course is the way too given how the hotels are pricey too.
Having said (or griped) about all that, I think the trip was nice - the pace of life, the vastness of the cities and the many things to learn and enjoy.
