In each episode, Rachael takes a one-day trip to an American or European city with only US$40 to spend on food. While touring the city, she finds restaurants to go to and usually manages to fit three meals and some sort of snack or after-dinner drink into her small budget. Fast food, particularly national chain restaurants, are considered cheating (she says so explicitly in the Orlando episode). Generally, non-food items and non-food-related activities are not included in her budget.

Initially, Rachael only used item prices against her $40 limit. She started including applicable taxes and tips during the first season; however, the dollar amount dedicated towards tipping her server is usually well below the American standard of 15-20%. On occasion, she does go over budget; however, during her trips to Philadelphia and Arizona, she did so on purpose. Her cheapest day was in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2003, when she spent just under $25 USD including taxes and tips (at the time, less than $40 Canadian, although she budgeted for $40 USD).
