Just realized my 3-day trip to Chicago only cost me $317 total!
I was adding up my receipts from last month and my jaw dropped. I used points for the flight, stayed with a friend, and ate almost exclusively from grocery store hot bars and a single amazing $8 falafel place I found. The biggest expense was actually the public transit pass! Has anyone else had a trip where the total cost was way lower than you expected? What was your secret sauce?

Only $8 for falafel? That's insane.

Honestly, the biggest money saver for me is just... not doing the tourist stuff. I skipped the observation deck last time and just walked around the different neighborhoods. You see way more of the real city, and it's free. That falafel place sounds like the kind of spot you only find when you do that.
