'This video is going to show you how to live in Amsterdam on a budget. The challenge is to survive off $20 for the entire day getting breakfast, lunch, dinner, and doing at least one fun activity. We start the morning with a quick run on the way to get some food. For breakfast, we went to HEMA, a local place that\'s known for being super cheap. They have an entire buffet of items ranging from €.50-€4, I ended up grabbing a Toasti for €3 and an orange juice for €1. Then I run back home to get ready for the day and gameplan our lunchtime activity. Amsterdam is also attempting to deter budget travelers by raising prices for everyday activities and accommodation in the next few years. So if you\'re on a budget, I would try to limit your time in Amsterdam or live like a local and get your grocers at the Albert Hejin or Lidl. They\'re some local grocery stores that have reasonable prices, especially if you have access to a kitchen and can cook your meals. That\'s where I think we can go to grab lunch. Since the weather is fantastic, we\'ll bring our lunch over to Vondel and enjoy a mini picnic. We hit a home run at the Lidl. We were able to pick up three croissants, a banana, and a drink for €2.37 that leaves us with €13.63 for the rest of the day. While enjoying our picnic at the park, we met Kelsey, a Dutch American citizen who moved back to Europe to get her master\'s in London. We got to know each other for a bit; then it was time for us to game plan our dinner! We head over to the food Hallen for dinner, which we talked about in the how-to travel Amsterdam guide. If you haven\'t seen that video make sure to check it out below! Although everything was a little more expensive than I anticipated, we were able to find a junior pizza for €8.50 leaving us with €5.13 for the rest of the evening. https://youtu.be/BWCQq5uqojI After dinner, it was time to wrap up for the night; we went over to the Albert Hejin to grab a bottle of wine to enjoy on my balcony. The wine cost €4.50 bringing our daily total to €19.47, staying just under our budget.'
