When you are planing a trip to the U.S its important to remember tipping. This is something that needs to be factored into a budget as tipping can become quite expensive.
If you go out to a nice restaurant and spend $100 on dinner this then
should be budgeted at $120 after you include a tip. Its important to
remember that the U.S has an 8% sales tax that generally needs to be
added to the final price. If you are down to your last $10 and you see a
Chinese buffet (particularly if you are in New York city- they are
everywhere) advertised a $10 then you probably can't afford it. By the
time you add the sales tax and tip you are probably looking at
around $15.
