FOOD


    General

See 🔗food for a general food shopping list, etc.

:
    * never eat in for-profit restaurants + learn to cook + share meals
    * know your sources well:
        * the prices (also check various big, specialty, ethnic and local markets)
        * specific local-grown food, and its seasonal availability
        * buy in bulk at local cheap supermarket (1 / month)
        * find "reduced before expiration" items at markets and supermarkets
        * approach bigger suppliers
    * buying at a big supermarket does not imply support:
        You are not saving the world with your basics consumption patterns!
    * cooperative approaches:
        * community kitchens
        * form a bulk-buy cooperative !!!
        (via: Yippie Manifesto) ### refer better

Nuts are essential yet can be hard to find cheaply.
Also consider seeds (sunflower, pumpkin).

:
    * LIDL ~10€/kg all types, since 2016 even pecans are 15€/kg
    * Ethnic shops will often have big packaging & special deals, maybe you can also haggle on the price

    "If you're flying from South Africa, bring 50kg extra Macadamia nuts!"



    Spices

Find ethnic shops (asian, Morrocan, Turkish, etc) - they will have bags for 1€ !!!
Much better than normal suppliers. Stock up!

    3G / Data plans / SIM cards

Basics in EU:
    * ~ June 15 2017, roaming will be free
    * As of Sept. 2016, at least one provider already offers free data roaming within 43 European countries on prepaid SIMs (the "YOU" plans of Vodafone Netherlands; YOU online only is 10€/mo for 1GB)
    * Until then, from May 1st 2016, it's 6c/MB (60€/GB) without a package
    * Some providers offer (100MB, 500MB, etc) international data in their packages. That's good deals.
    * Normal pre-paid price is 1GB for ~8€ including the SIM

General info:
    http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Prepaid_SIM_with_data

EU / international packages:
    * Three UK SIM:
        * http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Euro3
        * SIM is available on ebay for less than 2€ incl shipping
        * could be best option for a lot of data on Lanzarote as well
    * [...]

Spain / Lanzarote:
    * We're currently using Lebara. Details on ^CHT🔗cht-role-comm.
    * Lyca also looks cheap (5€/gb)

Germany:

• In Germany all SIM cards need to be registered with name and address. Most of the time name and address are not checked.
• In Berlin there are a lot of stores that will sell SIM cards that are "already activated" in some random guys name.
  • Where to look?
    • Kottbusser Damm (the whole street has many small telecom shops. if they advertise "LYCAMOBILE 3GB 10€" for example that's what you need)
    • Sonnenallee ((the whole street has many small telecom shops. if they advertise "LYCAMOBILE 3GB 10€" for example that's what you need)
• Want to know everything about German SIM cards?!

International:

• number26 (n26)
  • Young innovative FinTech Startup - lol, why do we even write about it here? -  because their bank account is the easiest to open as you don't need proof of address, so the card can be shipped to a hotel hostel or friend.
  • You can use every ATM in the world for free (expect some ATMs in US or Thailand that charge their own fees).
  • It gives you a IBAN number to send and receive transfers in the EU for free.
  • Everything is controlled through their smartphone app which also shows you everything you spend in real time.
  • In Germany you can pay up to 100€ per month cash into the account, after that it costs 1,5%.
  • The account does not charga any monthly fees.
  • You can open this bank account with a shipping address in Germany, Austria, United Kingdom, Greece, France, Italy, Ireland, Slovenia, ID and a smartphone.
• monese 
  • Basically like number26 but in GBP instead of EUR http://monese.com also costs 5GBP per month
