How My Family and I Saved Money On A Road Trip
An article by admin
With the rising cost of gas, and the dropping price of flights, it is becoming hard to justify taking road trips like I did when I was younger. However, I have six tips for you that can easily save you money.
Let’s start simple with bringing a cooler. This makes it much easier for you to shop in grocery stores, instead of stopping for fast food every time you or your family gets hungry. This is a much more healthy option to boot.
Planning ahead is another great way of saving money. This cuts down on unneeded use of gas due to getting lost. It’s also a great way of estimating the amount of money the trip is going to cost you.
Entertainment books can be a great way of saving money, while they may be a bit of an investment, they typically pay for themselves by saving you money and making a trip a ton of fun.
Camping is a way of getting away from paying crazy amounts for hotel rooms, not to mention how much fun it is.
Portable BBQs can be another way of saving money, coupled with the cooler you have a versatile option for food that ensures nobody will be bored.
Finally, you can simply ask friends on your social networks if they would mind you camping in their yard or if they would want to pitch in for a cookout when you are in town.
All of these are great ways of making a road trip more economical.
