WHAT TO EAT WHILE ON VACATION

WHAT TO EAT TO SAVE ON VACATIONS

FROM THE ARTICLE 'Cheap Family Vacations For the Frugal Lifestyle'

What to eat

Eating out with the whole family all the time will cost a fortune. Instead be frugal and:

* If staying at a hotel, make sure that everyone eats a big breakfast everyday to keep them full for longer. You could also try to take some bread rolls at breakfast with you for your lunchtime snack.

I used to sneakily fill bread rolls with bacon and take some of the fresh fruit that was left for us at breakfast and keep it for lunch.

* Prepare frugal foods for picnics. Use the local supermarkets for cheap ingredients.

* Always carry snacks for the kids. Cereal bars and bags of crisps are a great way to fill them up and to steer them away from other takeaway options available.

* Always plan in advance if you can what you are going to do every day. Remember that you do not have to do everything and the main reason for your holiday is to enjoy spending some time together.

MY THOUGHTS

if you're with kids, don't go for the packaged meals- especially the buffet. kids who eat adult food are rare. it's still cheaper to let them eat 'a la carte'.
