I work for a cheap ... company so this is by no means what I consider cool.....
We get $30 per day ($8, $9, $13). Our flight has to leave before 7am to get the $8 for breakfast and we have to get back after 8pm to get the $13 for dinner.
We can only spend $100 (incl. taxes!!!!) for hotels.....sucks for me since I travel to Boston and New York a lot. Lot of night spent in the woods of New Hampshire to get a decent place to stay!
