Saving money on a trip (with children)
We are in the thick of the holiday time with family, and money are not always easier to find. The more expensive rooms continue to be gas, housing and food, but with RV travel and camping, the accommodation is usually significantly reduced compared to those travelling with hotel destinations in mind. Here are some tips to lower the Bill for some of the other things that come up against.Plan ahead. This sounds great, but it's the hardest thing to do, especially with a day job and more people to coordinate. Is one thing, though, that will make the biggest difference. At least, try to come up with an idea of the most important places you want to visit, museums, theme parks or historic sites – water, and things you want to do, such as excursions on foot or on horseback. Then to outline an itinerary and budget. Have something written down helps you stick to a spending plan, simply because you keep on track. It also helps to have a list of good Pack with everything you need along the way, because then you won't have to buy forget things along the way.
Plan meals ahead. Knowing what you have cooking on the road and buy as much of non-perishable foods as you can ahead of time will keep you from spending too much for your more expensive camping stores and convenience stores en route. Choose an RV park/campground with activity. You can pay a few extra bucks to remain, but the savings will be exponentially worth in the long run if everyone will find something to do during the time on site. A swimming pool, movie nights, games room, children's playground and other distractions go a long way toward keeping everyone by looking for ways to spend unnecessary money shopping or buy junk food when they are bored. Also carry games that everyone will enjoy. Try going online. Many cities have discount coupon books (e.g. CityPass) which guarantee considerable savings – just be sure that you will in fact enough places to make worth buying – the whole book and attractions will usually offer discounts if you buy your tickets in advance and print them. Set up a system of folders that you can keep track of which days you'll be where file and therefore, tickets that will help keep you organized. Also be sure to take advantage of military, AAA and senior discounts and look for discount vouchers at amusement parks as well. Plan meals around attractions. If you can hold off on going to an amusement park or other expensive activities where you are held captive until just after lunch, you'll save quite a bit, especially if it's one that doesn't allow you to bring in food. In this way, you only have to buy dinner and maybe a bite to eat. Take advantage of the attractions that let you bring food, even if it's just for fun snacks that will make you from overeating expensive unhealthy food. Don't forget the water, which is also expensive when in the bottle. Recharge at the fountains of water.Take advantage of offers parks. Upon check-in, be sure to note if the campsite offers a complimentary breakfast or Pancake week weeknight BBQ and plan your itinerary.gas at the cheap points. If you have access to the Web, Gaspricewatch finds gas prices cheaper for you, which can sometimes be a big saver, especially if you're in a way RV of course, 20 km from the way you guide doesn't make sense, but if you're in an area where there are more options, can be of help. In addition, RV tire pressure and filling up on weekdays (supposedly cheaper than weekends) seem to be constant problems.
