Information About$40 A Day |
|
In each episode, Rachael takes a one-day Trip to an American or Europe an City with only US$ 40 to spend. While touring the city, she finds Restaurant s to go to and usually manages to fit three meals and some sort of snack into her small Budget . Rachael always offers tips on what to see in the various cities, as well as hints on how to save money and find bargains while Travel ing. She also emphasizes researching whatever city she plans to visit through the internet and asking the local citizens for their recommendations. Initially, Rachael only used item prices against her $40 limit. She started including applicable taxes and tips during the first season. On occasion, she does go over budget; however, in at least two of those instances, she did so on purpose. Her cheapest day was in Vancouver, British Columbia , in 2003, when she spent just under $25 USD including taxes and tips (at the time, less than $40 Canadian ). She did several episodes in Europe when the Euro was still valued less than the U.S. dollar. She has not visited Europe since the U.S. dollar has fallen under the Euro in value. The show premiered on April 22 , 2002 , some five months after the debut of 30 Minute Meals , making it her second Food Network show. EXTERNAL LINKS |
