Are you planning a trip? Explore our tips for saving money on travel food. From budgeting to making intelligent choices, we’ve got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you stay in a hotel or resort or hop in your vehicle for a road trip, travel food expenses must be accounted for or even estimated to keep a tight budget from exploding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When on vacation, some people want nothing more to do than relax and enjoy the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some people can’t afford this lifestyle but still want to go on holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are ways we’ve learned to save money on travel food that I want to share so you don’t make the same mistakes we made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel Food And Fun While Staying Financially Fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone uses a travel budget when going on vacation, spending freely, and dealing with the costs when they get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grocery budget or entertainment category may be two logical places to carve a bit of money from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reasoning behind using a grocery budget is that if you’re not home to buy groceries, you spend that money on travel food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes sense if it’s a simple road trip, but a destination holiday may cost more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most travellers are so focused on planning the trip that they put food on the back burner because it doesn’t seem like such a big deal. You can always eat out, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has to be food somewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re on vacation, eating and spending money because you earned it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve planned the cash to splash, use it up, but if not, I’d caution against using this money mentality on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you’ve unlimited funds or your employer is covering your travel food expenses, you will want to create a plan so you don’t exceed your daily expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last thing you will want to do is bring out your credit card to start charging for dining out because you’ve run out of cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realistic Budget Expectations When Travelling <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve traveled to many countries, and although I only ate once or twice a day in my twenties, it was still vital for me to eat well while saving as much money as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn’t starve myself because I was cheap on holiday and wanted to eat what the locals ate. It’s about being realistic about what you can afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always bring snacks to the airport or anywhere you travel, as you will get gauged at the cash register if you don’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect to pay double or even triple what you would in the city if you don’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s advisable to check with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) what types of food and snacks you can bring on board an airplane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Credit Cards Don’t Make You Rich<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you know the people who go on vacation and act like they are rich when they have piles of debt at home? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those people spend money and deal with the consequences later\u2014a big mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your first mistake is travelling with too much consumer debt; the second is not planning your daily travel expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I board a plane to go on vacation or jump in the car for a road trip, I always do three things to jump-start the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not a cheap traveler, but I don’t want to deal with any financial aftermath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Research cost-saving ideas for travel food well in advance of travelling. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Investigate restaurants, food trucks, food stands, and famous food hot spots online to know where they are located.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Always have somewhere to cook and grocery stores to purchase food.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I didn’t always come away spending less money as most of my investigation came from searching online, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, I learned various ways to cut travel and food expenses through trial and error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You’ll always set one bad example of reckless daily food expenses while travelling, but hopefully, you’ll learn what not to do the next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Road Trip Expenses For Travel Food<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Probably one of the ways travellers blow money on food is the somewhat convenient and simple road trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you visit a rest area off the highway or pull into a city and hit a local fast-food restaurant, these expenses can burst your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Something we started doing when we would go on a road trip was packing a cooler full of food, snacks, and cold beverages. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once we had our son, we packed even more food and beverages, and it became vital to do so, as so many things can happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If the weather is nice, we will stop and enjoy a picnic on a blanket, as we did this past summer in Tobermory, Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether checking in at a hotel or enjoying a daily road trip, food is less of a priority than beverages, but we always have snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You’ll spend a fortune on coffee, water, juice, and pop if you plan to buy them while travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fill your cooler with snacks and drinks to save money on other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Best Food For Road Trips Is Not Fast Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Going to McDonald’s to get 2 Big Macs, two medium fries, two large coffees, and a kid’s meal will cost a staggering $18 (with a Buy 1 get one free coupon), which is outrageous for fast food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whoever tells you fast food restaurant eating is cheap is lying unless you stick to the value menu, but you’re still hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Homemade Road Trip Meals And Snacks <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You could take that $18 and turn it into delicious healthy food from which you can make a meal and pack it in your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most rest stops have tables so you can enjoy something to eat that you’ve made at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also, packing food to eat in your hotel room before venturing out for the morning, afternoon, or evening saves money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even a road trip to local Ontario tourist spots like Wonderland, Ripley’s Aquarium, Ontario Place, MarineLand, Thousand Islands, Niagara Falls, Grand Bend, Provincial and National Parks, and so on will cost you to eat out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pack food and drinks and save your cash to enjoy the high costs of traveling to these tourist locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Not everyone wants to cook while on holiday, but if you can, balance how often you eat out and make food to save money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many hotels and motels give you access to a mini refrigerator, kitchenette, and barbeque to prepare light meals in your room or outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A motel we stayed at in the summer in Tobermory had a kitchen, microwave, and barbeque that we could use to cook food instead of going to a restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We would use the room refrigerator to store our food or keep it in a cooler packed with ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Eating From The Hotel Menu <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When Mrs. CBB and I spent a few days touring London, England, we decided to eat at the hotel one evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Big mistake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After a full day of walking and tube traveling, we let exhaustion take over our stomachs and decided to eat at the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Never again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I wouldn’t let Mrs. CBB see the bill, but she knew it was pretty high, and it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If we were smart, we would have grabbed fish and chips or a decent meal at a local shop and brought it along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Typically, I would pack a lunch and bring drinks in a backpack, but this particular road trip wasn’t planned so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I wanted to show Mrs. CBB as much of England as I could when she visited, including the places where I’d lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Things change when you move away from certain areas, so doing your research is still essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Related:<\/strong> 10 Ideas to Save Money On Travel<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Destination Travelling <\/span>Travel Food Costs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you’re travelling by boat, airplane, train, or other means of transportation food expenses can get costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Typically, when you are on a boat, food expenses are covered in the ticket price, as expected from an all-inclusive cruise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is great because you don’t have to worry about spending extra money on food. After all, it’s already supplied to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember that snacks may not be, so pack some away if you don’t want to pay outrageous costs in a cruise shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When destination traveling, you may have the food included in an all-inclusive resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, planning food expenses takes more work for those who don’t care for resorts like me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Opt For Self-Catering Reservations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If I was staying in a self-catering apartment, I made sure that there was a fully equipped kitchen where I could cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I did some online research to see if there were street markets or vendors nearby where I could buy fresh foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During the week, while on holiday, I cook meals, saving me a bundle of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also ate at restaurants and would snack on street food, but I never went overboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Be Cautious Of Travel Food Preparation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The worst thing you could do is buy food you aren’t familiar with and waste your money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I learned to be picky about the foods I chose to eat and the preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you don’t speak the local language, don’t buy food without knowing what you’re being offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For some, this is part of the travelling thrill, so budget that thrill money if you want to eat on a whim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also, be prepared that you may dislike what you buy or that it might not agree with your tummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Food preparation and health regulations in some countries are limited or non-existent, which I learned the hard way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In India, I had to play charades with the pharmacy to tell them I had diarrhea and needed medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Famous Food At Your Travel Destination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Search online for the types of food or dishes your travel destination is famous for making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You may even find how much food costs where you are visiting to help you budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you are traveling throughout Ontario or Canada, pricing will be similar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, when you leave Canada, food costs, among other things, will differ based on country and currency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Locals Want You To Explore Food Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    No matter where you travel, the business wants you as a customer whenever there is food around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I could hardly finish my meals in Thailand because they were filling and cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some of the best restaurants I ate in were the cheapest but with the most authentic food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most of the street vendors were more than excited to have foreigners buy and eat their food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Learn How To Barter For Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Remember that you can always barter with street vendors because they want your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Understanding how to barter in any country I visited was important, so I researched it online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Deals, Coupons, Snacks And Beverages <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Daily food expenses included looking for budget-friendly snacks in the shops to eat at night rather than constantly buying actual meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When staying in a resort, you may not have the luxury of snacks unless you go to a local resort store, but you’ll pay the price for those snacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I’d recommend bringing snacks from home to offset any of the costs that aren’t needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You might find restaurant coupons if you reserve seats ahead of time or print them online before you take off on holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Travel Food At Amusement Parks <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Mrs. CBB explained that eating at the resort on a past trip to Disney World would cost a fortune. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Packing lots of beverages and snacks every day was recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you are staying off the Disney resort in a condo with a kitchen, renting a house, or using a timeshare, you can cook, visit restaurants, and use coupons to cut costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You pay for convenience no matter where you travel, but if you don’t mind a bit of work, you can save yourself some money, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When we take our son to Disney, I’ll do extensive research to keep travel food costs low while enjoying every minute of seeing him smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Consider the same when visiting Cedar Point, Niagara, Wonderland, Ripley’s Aquarium, Toronto Zoo, African Lion Safari, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Take Advantage Of Free Travel Food <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you’re boarding an airplane, don’t buy snacks that aren’t included, and enjoy the complimentary pretzels and peanuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A small chocolate bar could run you upwards of $2.50 each in the air and $1.00 at the Dollar store on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Always stock a few treats for air travel and cut food expenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Consider Your Health When Travelling <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Some flights give you the option of having an in-flight meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Opting out of having the meal can save you more than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For some people, when on vacation, their bowels don’t agree with them in the new environment and changes to routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cutting back on how much you eat may save you money and time on the toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In Thailand, I was sick for days with a virus so much that I couldn’t eat but wanted to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When I did eat, it would just come back up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I wasted more money trying to get food, but that all ended up in the bin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Eating less while incorporating greens and water will help move things along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Trim <\/span>Travel Food Expenses 101<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Wherever I travelled, I would eat the most food I could, depending on the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If lunch were the cheapest meal of the day, I’d eat something small for breakfast and dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Come lunchtime, I would fill up to stay full longer, especially proteins and fats, but limit carbohydrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Making sure I was always hydrated also helped me avoid wanting to eat when all my body wanted was water to hydrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choose hotels or apartments with cooking facilities so you can buy groceries and eat a meal in the room to lower your daily food expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I was passionate about this because it allowed me to explore different foods at the grocery store and make them myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Food Deals And Travel Reviews <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Always scope out the city you visit by searching Groupon<\/a><\/strong> or their website to see if you can buy coupon books or locate discount codes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you use Groupon, sign up for Rakuten<\/a><\/strong> first because you will get $30 cash back on your first purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Doing so will cut your daily expenses while visiting any city or town in Canada or the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You might often get lucky and find 2-for-1 dining out coupons or discounts on shopping. This includes travelling over the border to the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Research restaurants online depending on where you are travelling, as most now have websites displaying the menu with prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can pick what you want to eat and know how much it will cost before entering the establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Trip Advisor is also a wealth of information for tourists looking for reviews about destinations, restaurants, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Eat Where The Locals Eat <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When you arrive at your destination, talk to the locals and ask where they like to eat locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I did this many times and found the best establishments with reasonably priced menus were hidden off the main tourist streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When Mrs. CBB and I travelled to Niagara, a short drive out of the main district, we found cheaper food than what we would have paid if we had stayed close to the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you cannot bring snacks, find out what your destination is famous for, as the food is abundant and cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I would buy tonnes of cheap bananas in India because they grow everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The bananas kept me fuelled on the many road trips we went on throughout the day until the next meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Street Food Trucks <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Food trucks and street vendors will almost always have cheaper food than what you’d pay for in a restaurant, plus you don’t have to leave a tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether in Canada, the USA or overseas, ask a local where the best outdoor food is located and what they suggest eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fill up on good eats for less to save money for your pricier meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Supermarkets and Street Markets <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Bulk shopping at the grocery store will likely be inexpensive, so if your hotel or apartment has a kitchen, think “Big” when shopping for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don’t buy more than you will eat as you may be unable to travel home with extra food if it’s not allowed by customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you’re crossing the border to do some shopping unless you plan to dine out, I’d suggest eating before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, if you don’t eat out and get stuck in bridge traffic, it may be hours before you get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You may also find that if you are hungry, you get lured into restaurants by the smell of food and cheap buffet prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Again, if you plan it, go for it, but if you can’t afford to eat out, get what you need and go home with snacks and beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Plan Before Any Travel, Even A Road Trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Overall, traveling should be fun, but it shouldn’t break you financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you include travel food in your grocery budget, knowing where your money will go becomes more critical before you leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With proper planning, you will eat good local food, cut costs, and enjoy your trip no matter your chosen transportation mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
