subject: Vacation On A Shoestring - Save Money When Travelling [print this page] It is time for the holidays! Children do not attend school, and now you are about to take that trip you've been planning all year. If you're like most people, you are also thinking of fear in expenses of all participants on the go. No matter how long or short the trip may be, as you know, as I do, and the cost of everything from money. Here are some tips you can follow to help you reduce your expenses.
1. Buy your gas completely from the highway. Service stations and stores that are on site along the roads are always more expensive than those which are also located at the bottom of the secondary roads. Take a few extra minutes and save a few dollars.
2. Pack food and beverages for your. Before leaving the trip, visit the local grocery store, and buy snacks to take with you. Tourist hot spots are usually set too high a price on items such as soft drinks and chips. The list of foods to be a good package soft drinks, chips, cookies, bread, meat and cheese for sandwiches, and even some fruit. This with the help you prevent them from entering these restaurants for every meal.
3. Enjoy the continental breakfast. Each hotel and almost all guests are greeted these days that offer free morning meal, most of which usually consists of a small box of cereal, donuts, bread or 1. If you're like me, you have to jump over everything. It's free, and you have to spend a few dollars for lunch or dinner.
4. Use coupons whenever possible. Usually in tourist areas of your high traffic, you will find brochures or booklets containing coupons for restaurants, attractions, or gift shops. I do not think cheap when you use it. Just feel smarter. You can decide to spend $ 20.00 to get to this museum, or be smart and enjoy the $ 3.00 entry.
5. Do not buy souvenirs until the last day. Of course, I do not know of anyone returning from a trip without a set of ornaments that will be played with for a few days and then thrown in the closet. During the holidays, and make a mental note of things that interest you. Then, the last day, you can make a decision on the issue (s) you want more than others. This will save you a headache at the end.
