This is the cheapest stove I've found on Amazon. I paid $10 for mine. They work well.
traveling? you can get camping stoves cheapcheap usually, you won't be able to fly the canisters but they're typically not very expensive
kinda short notice by now anyway
I’ve had one of these for years and it works awesome.

I use this for camping and during blackouts and keep one in my car during the winter in case I breakdown. Fuel is cheap and lasts a long time, it's usually cheaper at an REI or camping store than on amazon.
Product name: Portable Camping Stove/Backpacking Stove
You can find them on Amazon
I like that the tent has a vestibule. It's handy for keeping your boots dry without bringing mud inside your tent.
If you're concerned about wetness, you should use a groundsheet. This provides an additional moisture barrier between your tent and the ground- handy for those rainy nights where the ground saturates and starts to pool beneath you.
While you can buy them premade, it's much easier and cheaper to make your own. Go to whereever you would buy home improvement/construction supplies. (In the US, that would be a home improvement store like Home Depot or Lowe's). Buy a bulk amount of plastic tarp material (e.g. Tyvek house wrap or a painting drop cloth). Cut it with a razor blade to match the size of your tent closely.
In a pinch, you can buy a general purpose tarp and fold it down to size. However, be very careful to fold the edges under the tent in a way that doesn't collect rainwater under the tent. (Fold or roll the edges down so water doesn't collect under it.)
You probably need a mattress for comfort. Even in 100F+ days (70F nights) I use an inflatable mattress for comfort. I use a Nemo Tensor, but you'd have to find something different in Europe I think.
In the US we have Mountain House dehydrated meals. They're pricey, but I'd prefer that over noodles for breakfast lol. Or if you're close to town- either run into town for groceries, or find a nice breakfast in town :) The stove looks alright, though it's over twice as expensive as ones you can buy in the US.
Here's my non-backcountry pack list for more inspiration.
If you train in the cold, a mini camp stove. Heat/hot water/coffee wherever, whenever. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NJYV3NP/ or one of the clones.

Different account but same guy. I haven't tried any brands other than what I have, but everything I have has held up so far, so I'll just show you what it is.
I totally understand the budget thing. But speaking of the stove, you can get a super cheap, super light stove. Like this one, which I have and works great (all you need is a gas canister) or this one, which is a favorite of r/ultralight.
Definitely with the little things it is easier to stay within a budget while going light. I understand that the sleep system and such is expensive to cut weight in, I haven't gone with an ultralight sleep system yet for that reason too!
Honorable mention: A couple Rok Straps for the initial packout. And a bunch of cam lock lashing straps on standby for anything you pick up but weren't expecting.
Just got these a few weeks ago and love the size and how quick it boils water. Boiled about 10oz in 3ish minutes. I also use the Aero Press and it’s great!!!

Has anyone tried using this wind screen with a cheaper stove?
I am in need of . . . knowledge....
I bought this stove forever ago. Still works alright. Think that it could boil a cup of water in something like this pot or others from their line. I like their stuff. But I'd be bringing my winter stuff with me when I go to different places like a public park, and I want to be able to make meals and chai tea latte's on the go, in the winter, I mean come on this sounds beautiful in my head.
So thoughts?
It literally fits in your pocket.

I have one of these. It has a built-in ignition. Wood can be very difficult to light.
Those are nice but that's a very high.
And if he car camping his is perfect I have two burner that I take for my family of 6
A lot depends on where you are and if there are any fire restrictions. Open fires are just fine in many areas and public parks with grills and fire pits.
California has severe fire restrictions during the dry season so a positive shut off gas canister stove or equivalent is required.
I like coffee and tea so I boil water in the cup for that. You can open a can of food and heat it in the cup. A stainless steel dog bowl without rubber feet from Dollar Tree works as a larger pot if you need one. I put a wire coat hanger bail handle on mine. Use aluminum foil for a lid to shorten burn time. If you use a stove then a cardboard wind screen protects the flame and saves fuel.
There are lots of other options.
Beer can stove
Tuna can cardboard & wax stove
Cat food can alcohol stove
