A few tips and tricks for saving money while traveling and cooking meals somewhere else:
If you are driving and have room in the car, consider packing a few pantry basics like peanut butter, parmesan cheese, favorite snack, etc. Grocery prices are higher on the beach, so we always grab a few of our favorites from the pantry to save some money.
Pick up extra napkins, mustard and ketchup packets, and any other favorite condiments when you stop at a fast-food restaurant or gas station.
If we are staying for only a few days, and know we will have hotdogs, then we pick up a couple of extra packets of mustard to save from buying an entire bottle for a single-use night.
We stock the unit with a roll of paper towels for every booking, but sometimes napkins are a better fit.
Pack a few ziplock or similar bags in your suitcase. They take up very little room and you never know when they will pay off.
