Saving on your next family vacation

Post on May 27, 2010

One of the greatest family bonding experiences can be a family road trip. While you are saving money on airfare you may still rack up charges on the ground. Here are some money saving tips for the road trip, courtesy of www.supercoolsteals.com.

1. Pitch a tent. Camping is cheap and fun.
2. Pack your own water and a canteen. Buying bottled water will make your cash dry up quick.
3. Cook your own food. Skip the pricey restaurant and go fishing or grill some burgers on the camp fire.
4. Is it cheaper to rent a car? What kind of condition is your car in? Is it a gas guzzler? Do the math and save.
5. Lighten the load and save on gas. Do you really need to pack the kitchen sink?
6. Air up your tires! This saves on gas.
7. Bunk up. This is a family bonding experience. If you do use a hotel – spread the kids out on sleeping bags on the hotel floor.
8. Stay with friends in route. This is the cheapest option and a great way to catch up with old friends.
9. Road side traps. Beware! Do you really need to explore a cave? Plan ahead and don’t get suckered in with the flashy billboards.
10. Pack your own entertainment. When the kids and you start wanting magazines, comics and games – be sure you have packed them and aren’t buying at the gas station where prices triple!
