Airfare, hotels and yes, MEAT: How to make the most of your vacation money
We're sharing ideas on how to make the most of the limited money we have to spend on vacation!
Posted — UpdatedVacations can get expensive, even when you make a real effort to get the most for your money! Don't get me wrong-- when I vacation-- I don't like to penny-pinch the whole time! But I do think there are easy ways to save in some areas so that you can splurge on "extras"-- whether it be a snorkel trip, horseback riding, or a really special meal! For example, whenever I can, I rent a house or hotel room with a "kitchenette" so that we can make at least some meals in the room. At the very least-- we always ask for a room refrigerator. Most hotels will bring one to you. That allows you to keep enough items for a few meals. It sure makes breakfast easy! Get cereal and milk, or bagels and cream cheese--whatever you like-- the point is, you can just about spend the same amount on buying enough food for a full week of breakfast for the family as you would buying them one breakfast in a hotel restaurant!
