When I spent 2 months in Europe I did some of the following things to save on money:
Bring a small tent or tarp and camp (Most citys have camping 20 minute walks from downtown)
Work on a farm for a week or two (Hard as hell work, but one of my most memorable times)
Bring a small backpacking stove/pot and make your own food
Sleep in parks, under bridges, in hospitals, train stations, and where ever else you can
Plan for a minimum of $35CAD per day ($25USD?) If I went back again I'd probably live a bit cheaper knowing what I know now, but I did see 90% of what I wanted to, was never hungry, and came back with $10DM in my pockets (Although I did splurge the last day and ate as much as I could)
The main thing is to be conscience of how little you can get by with.. Think of the 3rd worlders when you get hungry and are looking for Junk food (Not good food!)
