Ease of Travel

Lunch at a major theme park, or any tourist destination worth going to, can run close to $10 per day per person so a great frugal travel tip is to pack your own lunch. This is often easier when you’re still within the United States because you’ll be familiar with the stores, the selection, and the prices - packing your own lunch will save you significant amounts of money that you can use to splurge on other things.

Packing your own lunch also gives you the freedom to eat when you want and not waste time waiting in line or sitting at a table. Sometimes you want to enjoy the sights and the aromas of an authentic local meal but that may not be so important during the middle of the day when you’re absorbing the experience full tilt. Let dinner be where you spend a little extra money and let lunch be just a larger mid-day snack on the cheap.
