How To Save Money On All Three Meals During Vacation | TRAVEL SERIES DAY TWO

[@PolkaDottyPlace]

Great tips! We always stock up on groceries for our hotel/condo kitchen when we travel. That way we have breakfast, lunch and snack options there. We like to go out for early bird dinners and save money that way. We also pick up a couple tubs of Blue Bell ice cream every year when we go to the beach. It's so much cheaper than going out for dessert and we all look forward to sharing some delicious ice cream.

Having ice cream on hand - that’s a great idea!! We stopped at the grocery store on our honeymoon and picked up ice cream and we need to make that a habit!

I love that tip eating big at lunch and eat light at dinner!

It’s the way to go!

My husband and I stayed in a condo while on our honeymoon in Cape Cod and purchased groceries from a nearby market. We knew we'd be eating lunch and dinner out and chose to eat breakfast at the condo for a couple of mornings. We also wanted to have coffee and snacks on hand as well. We have also done Groupon during a trip to the shore. It saved us money on lunch as well as some of the boardwalk games.

That's a great tip - using Groupons for entertainment as well as meals. Thanks!

I always travel with plastic cutlery and paper plates. A rotisserie chicken and a salad from the grocery store is a go to for us on the road

That’s a great idea!!

I almost always go grocery shopping once I'm there and get breakfast/fruit/snack items that way I have things where I'm staying and won't be tempted to buy snacks on the go. It also helps me eat and feel better since I'm less likely to want to buy junk food! :)

[@homeforcomfort]

Yes! Having snacks on hand is definitely a good way to make better choices, especially since the cheaper options when traveling/on location are usually the most unhealthy ones!

When we stay in a hotel we try to book one that has breakfast included. It makes it a lot easier in the morning and they always have coffee so there’s that too! I have to have my coffee first thing in the morning also!

I feel like it's getting harder to find places that include breakfast - but I agree, that's very helpful. I imagine it is even more important when traveling with kids. :)

Whitney Pendell We don’t travel often but I have noticed fewer places offer breakfast these days.
