Flights and lodging are a couple of the most expensive, obvious costs associated with a vacation. There are plenty of ways to cut costs on those areas. But if you’re on a tight budget for the rest of your trip, how do you save money and still enjoy your vacation?


To put it simply, we want to know about all the creative ways you enjoy your vacation on a budget. We’re not really looking for ways save money on airfare or hotels. We want to know how you save money on things like entertainment, food, and souvenirs.


For example, lots of people actually skip restaurants during their trip and opt to cook local food in their hotel. It’s cheaper, and you can still enjoy a decent meal unique to the place you’re visiting. That’s just one example. We’d like to hear your creative ways for taking in a vacation without spending a lot of money.

So tell us—how do you save money and still have a good time on vacation?
