Is it possible to NOT eat out every night?

[RebeccaCloud9]

Thinking of a Premier Inn holiday this year (easy and available unlike most decent holiday cottage etc options). Has anyone done this without eating out for every evening meal? Any good tips?

We won't have any cooking facilities beyond a kettle. I know we could eat out (and will most of the time), but looking for ways to a) keep costs down, and b) a plan for if the kids are knackered after days out and won't particularly enjoy being at a restaurant.

The microwave will know it's in a hotel room and immediately burst into flames

There are some brilliant ideas on here, thanks for sharing. Would never have thought of them! I'm going to bookmark this thread for our next hotel stay.

I almost feel like booking myself a premier inn to see if I can recreate his meals 🤣

Hit up chinatown for endless instant ramen options. Then on the day just buy veggies, char siu, boiled eggs.. Or whatever you want to add to it.

My husband suggested a travel hob but I can just imagine setting off the smoke alarms or the smell being too strong, hadn't even thought of the electrics! Nightmare.

It doesn't at all. The induction ones are ace.

You can get a microwave for £45. If you are going by public transport and can't carry it, get it sent there. You will be able to live on ready meals and baked potatoes etc for a week. www.argos.co.uk/product/9235285?clickPR=plp:5:72

That is such a good idea!
