Just realized packing a thermos of coffee before the 6am Megabus to Chicago cut my food bill in half
Last month I took the Friday 6am bus from Detroit to Chicago for a weekend trip. I used to grab breakfast and a coffee at the station and it always ran me about $14 before I even left. This time I filled my old thermos at home and packed two bagels from the grocery store, so I walked onto the bus with everything I needed for $3 total. By the time we hit Kalamazoo I'd already eaten and saved eleven bucks, which paid for a whole dinner later. What's your go-to cheap travel breakfast that actually survives a long bus ride?
