Best places to eat on a budget in Mumbai  

Mumbai is a city that has a high cost of living and low salaries. It’s not unusual for people to eat on a budget there, but it can be hard to find good food in the city.    

There are some good restaurants, but most are expensive compared to other places you might visit. Food is also generally very expensive here—especially if you go out for dinner every night! The best thing about eating cheaply in Mumbai is that everything tastes great because there's so much competition between different restaurants trying their best to offer customers something delicious at prices they can afford (or perhaps both).    

Exploring Mumbai's street food scene without breaking the bank  

If you're looking to explore Mumbai's street food scene without breaking the bank, here's what you need to know:    

Find the right spot. You can do this by asking around or checking out the local map on your phone (and don't forget to take pictures!). Once you've found a good place, make sure it has plenty of seating and doesn't look sketchy—this will help ensure that everyone else who comes along with you is safe too!    

Order your food from an older woman with a pot belly who speaks broken English and asks for your name in return for some change; she'll point out what she thinks looks good among all these options before taking your order. Maybe don't choose something spicy though because otherwise people might get upset when they find out how much money they wasted trying out exactly those same dishes later on down their trip...    

Offbeat things to do in Mumbai that won't cost you much  

Explore the city on a bike.    

Visit a museum.    

Visit a temple.    

Visit a park or zoo, if you're lucky enough to live in Mumbai and have access to one! There are many parks in Mumbai that make great places for picnics and other outdoor activities, but some of them have been converted into museums due to lack of space or funds. If you want to go somewhere else instead of spending all day at your local park (or even if you don't), there are plenty of museums around town with collections ranging from art history to archaeology and anthropology; it just depends on what interests you most! Check out these options:    

Free Walking Tours in Mumbai  

If you're looking to discover the city on foot, there are plenty of walking tours available. The best part? They're free and easy to book!    

Walking Tours in Mumbai are available in English, Hindi and other languages. You can find out more information about these tours or book one by visiting the Tourism Information Centres (TIC).    

How to save money on shopping in Mumbai  

You can save money on shopping in Mumbai by using a credit card, debit card or prepaid card. Credit cards are convenient because they allow you to pay for items at full price and then apply any remaining amount toward future purchases. Debit cards are also an excellent option if you don't want to use your credit card because they will only charge a small fee when used at an ATM machine instead of the full amount immediately after purchase.    

Prepaid cash back cards are another good way to get discounts on purchases while saving money at checkout time by rewarding shoppers with extra cash back rewards points each time they use their card throughout the year (or whenever their balance reaches $100).    

Cheap and Fun Nightlife Options in Mumbai  

Mumbai is a city with a lot of nightlife options. If you are looking to have fun, but don't want to spend too much money on drinks and food, then Mumbai is the place for you.    

There are many bars and restaurants in the city that offer good quality food and drinks at affordable prices. These places also have live music performances which can make your evening even more memorable!    

Mumbai's Beaches - Enjoy a day out without spending much  

Mumbai's beaches are a great place to relax, unwind and meet people. There are plenty of options for you to choose from and they all have something unique to offer.    

For example, if you want to enjoy the sun but don't want any hassle, then head over to Juhu beach or Versova Beach. If you are looking for more fun activities like swimming or eating out on the beach then head over towards Nariman Point or Marine Drive (though most people prefer Kala Ghoda).    

Budget-friendly Heritage Walks in Mumbai  

Mumbai's heritage walks are a great way to explore the city. They're easy to do, and can be done in any order. The best part about them is that they're free!    

They offer you an opportunity to meet local people and get to know the city better.    

How to plan a day trip from Mumbai on a budget  

How to plan a day trip from Mumbai on a budget    

If you're planning to go on a day trip from Mumbai, here are some tips that can help you save money:    

Use public transportation instead of private cars. Public transport is cheaper than driving and lets you see more sites in your limited time frame.    

Avoid shopping in malls or at large chain stores like Reliance Fresh or Big Bazaar where prices are fixed and high quality items are rarer than elsewhere. Instead, find local markets or small shops with lower prices but higher quality products (such as those found at Kalbadevi Market).    

Enjoy street food instead of expensive restaurant meals for lunch or dinner; this will allow for more variety in cuisine while still keeping costs down! The best place for shopping streetside is Crawford Market which offers everything from spices grown nearby through clothing accessories made locally—and even candy bars sold by street vendors called “chawlis” (which means "housewives"). Most vendors sell their wares along Ghatkopar's Marine Drive Road while others set up shop along Linking Road near Dadar Railway Station where they tend toward more traditional styles such as saris rather than modern designs like jeans."    

Best time to visit Mumbai for a budget trip  

The best time to visit Mumbai is during the monsoon season. This is because it’s the cheapest and most convenient time to travel, especially if you are on a budget trip. However, there are some other factors that influence your decision:    

If you want to enjoy your trip without much hassle or stress, then it would be better for you if you could go during winter or summer (June-October). These seasons have less crowd and traffic compared with monsoons when every year millions of people visit this city from all over India as well as other parts of world such as Europe & America etc., so their transportation system gets congested due to heavy rush hours on highways leading towards Mumbai from different directions too such as Pune – Thane Highway which leads directly into Navi Mumbai city without any stopover between these two places at least once during one's journey towards South Mumbai itself where most tourists usually end up spending their entire vacation period here rather than anywhere else nearby!    

Another reason why tourists choose certain times over others is because they want more affordable prices while booking hotels rooms themselves rather than relying solely upon availability of same type rooms available online though availability may not be guaranteed depending upon how busy season happens while booking reservations beforehand (which takes place several months prior)."    

Tips for a safe and enjoyable budget trip to Mumbai  

Be aware of scams. You should always be on the lookout for pickpockets and con artists, who have been known to prey on tourists in Mumbai. Be careful with your money and belongings, as these criminals will try anything to steal it from you!    

Stay safe when traveling by train or bus. If you’re taking public transport in Mumbai during rush hour (usually between 6:30 a.m., 8:00 a.m., 9:30 am) make sure that you have enough time before getting on board so that there isn't any confusion over where each person should get off first—and don't forget about luggage! It’s important not only because this could cause delays but also because some trains may not accommodate large amounts of luggage due to space constraints; if this happens then simply rebook onto another type of transportation until one becomes available again later that day/night depending upon how far away from home each traveler has traveled since leaving their starting point earlier today."
