5. Book a Room With a Kitchen

One of the most expensive parts of traveling are the cost of meals each day. Eating out can easily add up and make it difficult to stick to a smaller budget. Consider staying at a hotel that has a kitchen for a great way to cook your own meals for breakfast and lunch. Having a refrigerator or microwave in the room will also make it easy to bring leftovers back and extend your meals. You can also book your stay at a hotel that offers complimentary breakfast to its guests for another way to save on meals.

When dining out, look for restaurants where kids can eat free and adults can split meals for a great way to cut back. You can also stock up on snacks at a local grocery store once arriving at the destination and pack your own food for the day to ensure that you spend less on eating out.
