Found a motel in Amarillo last month that had a free pancake breakfast
I was driving through Texas and stopped at a Super 8 that had a pancake machine in the lobby, so I loaded up on breakfast and stuffed two extra pancakes in a napkin for lunch. That saved me about $12 on food that day, which got me thinking about how many hidden meal opportunities I miss at cheap hotels. Anyone else scout hotel breakfasts as part of their travel budget plan?

Heard a story from my friend Dave who stayed at a Motel 6 in Oklahoma and swiped an extra waffle for the road. He tucked it into his jacket pocket and forgot about it until the next morning when he pulled out a crumpled, syrup-sticky mess that had fused with a receipt. Said it was still edible but tasted like regret and old coffee.

oh man I am the QUEEN of this. once I stayed at a La Quinta that had that make your own waffle station and I made three waffles stacked them on a paper plate and ate them in the parking lot with my fingers because I was too cheap to buy lunch that day. I also grabbed like four yogurt cups and a handful of those little cereal boxes for the road. my friends call it "the Jessica diet" but honestly a free breakfast covers two meals minimum if you plan it right. I've definitely pocketed a bagel for dinner more times than I'd like to admit.
