An economy holiday in Tahiti is possible. So I thought I'd find one for you.
Lonely Planet has some great tips. Actually, Lonely Planet's tips are so good, it's best if you just go there and read what they have to say, and today I'll just give you a few extra tips and some images to excite your imagination.

| with what you save on accommodation, you can buy this exquisite pearl |
Or, try Tahiti Home Rentals, and live like a local. you can choose a villa, a house or a serviced apartment. You can get a one bedroom, sleep two condo for around 500 Euro a week. That's much smarter than a hotel.
Air BnB has even better offers.
Eating cheaply but well:
Look out for the small supermarket over the road/down the road. You will find one. They will always have baguettes and cheese and saucisson.

| Le Marche |
Wander down the road until you can find a fruit and vegetable stall, piled with juicy pineapples, mangoes, pawpaws and limes, or go to Le Marche, the market in the centre of Papeete, right near the ferries to Moorea.

| Les Roulottes |
Make your way to Place Vaiete in Papeete, Place Vaiete is the home of Les Roulottes - dozens of small caravans which have been converted into kitchens that assemble every evening near the docks, with plastic tables, chairs and cutlery for the diners. You can buy crepes, or eat the way locals do - poisson cru - raw fish in coconut milk with cucumber, onion and lettuce; saumon des dieux, or salmon of the gods, a steaming mound of firm white fish accompanied by a big dipping bowl of barbecue sauce; steak and chips.
