Traveling with kids can put a strain on your budget, and you should put an effort into saving money wherever you can. Since food happens to be one of the biggest travel expenses, we’re bringing you a brief guide you can use to eat on a budget during your next family trip.
Accommodation Type
Before booking accommodation, make sure that a kitchenette or at least a mini-fridge is provided. You can save a fortune by making your own meals instead of eating out all the time.
Bring Snacks
Whether you’re going on a road trip or catching a plane, make sure to pack some snacks for your kids. Granola bars, trail mix, and crackers are a great choice and you won’t have to buy any overpriced snacks when you have them by your side.
Do Your Research
Instead of sitting down at the first restaurant in a touristy area that your kids point to, do some research beforehand and look at the prices in online menus to find a more affordable alternative.
Eat Like a Local
Restaurants in touristy areas are usually overpriced, so consider embracing street food and eating like a local. Not only will you save a fortune, but you’ll also get to explore the local cuisine in a more authentic way.
