...hotels/hostels? and bumbling our ways around Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain, etc. (i.e. Not Eastern Europe). Is a budget of 75 euros/day (about 100 dollars U.S.) reasonable for my husband and myself? We're in our 20s and capable of being happy in less than stellar conditions (but no rats, please!). Thanks for any advice!

About "backpacking" in Europe...but not really backpacking, just staying in cheap...

GuestYou'll need €20-25/day each for hostels/guesthouses/bed & breakfasts. If you want to stay in the same room or bed, the latter two options are best although some hostels have private rooms. Even cheap hotels in major Western European cities usually cost €75+ per night.
If you buy all your food at a grocery store and prepare it yourself, you should budget at least €15/day. You'll need €15-30 each if you plan to eat street food and in cheap restaurants.
Then you have to consider travel within and between cities, and visiting attractions, so I think your budget is a bit low for 2 people. It's possible to do on €75/day, but it wouldn't be a comfortable trip even for backpackers.
