Buy food and drinks at a supermarket.
I learnt this particularly in places like London or Paris where eating at restaurants can be expensive. Rather find a supermarket and buy something there. Not only will your lunch be cheaper, but you could also enjoy it in a beautiful park or on top of the Eifel Tower.
In places like Rome, cold-drinks and water outside touristy places such as the Colosseum can be ridiculously expensive because it is so hot and one quickly becomes dehydrated. Rather buy your cold-drinks and water from a supermarket and then take it along in your backpack. If your hostel or hotel has a fridge, freeze one bottle to ensure you have something cold for later in the day. Also make sure you have an empty bottle that you can fill with water (if you are happy to drink the water as I was).
By doing this you are able to choose from a wider variety of food and drink for a fraction of the price.
