There are many places that are very affordable to where you may even be able to stay under $40/day for basic accommodation, transportation and 3 meals (airfare not included). Try to stay within one or two regions or use local transportation to cut costs. Food and drinks are pretty cheap and delicious. It’s all in the planning!

I didn’t want to have to bring several bags into hotels each night, so I made sure that everything I would use regularly was in one bag. Rolling my clothes allows me to use my space more efficiently, and it cuts down on the need to iron my clothing at the hotel. Make sure you eat healthy food. Even on the road trip.

You don’t have to stick exactly to the plan (a little flexibility makes for a better trip), but if you have your airfare, hotels, and rental cars arranged ahead of time, it makes things a little smoother. For me, this usually means food. Take Time to Try Cultural Things. I like trying local fare and specialties when I travel.

Not only will you get the venue on your chosen date, hotels and restaurants will probably be willing to offer packages at a special rate. Buying local is cheaper because the transportation costs are lower. Your friends are the best manual labor out there because they will either work for free or work for food (or booze).

While the very words seem synonymous with fun, that fun can get expensive, especially if it involves booking a flight, staying in a hotel, and paying for activities for your whole family. But if you travel to a nearby city, you may feel like you’ve been transported to a whole new world. Does your family love one particular food?

Food and drink and some entertainment venues are extra. Unlike most theme parks, parking is free (although you can pay for parking close to the entrance) and a free shuttle provides transportation to and from the entrance. Also like most theme parks, entrance fees, souvenirs, food and drink can be very expensive.

I’ve also heard that some people actually call the hotel directly after making their reservation. We missed the food courts, the transportation was horrible, and it is just TOO expensive. Also, the no-food-court-situation was very inconvenient.

I’m all for saving money and inspiring people to cook their own food, but I worry about the trade offs. Is it really worth it to give up whole foods (not the store, the actual foods) to save money? For example, at FinCon, I stayed at a Home Exchange rather than the host hotel so I wouldn’t have to spend money on accommodations.
