It's the other way around, if all other places offer that as a minimum, why go to a place that is "cheap" in such a way? What would be next, bring your own water or a power generator? My first job after college was in a small company (now they call them startups) that had 5 people. We worked in an old building, had low end equipment, but we had free coffee and tea (and water). It costs them next to nothing to have that basic "benefits", yearly it is probably much less then a single travel of any of their chief officers. If they are so cheap, then they probably won't give you big money for your work (small pay increases, or none) also, for me it is a big warning sign: GET OUT.
