You know you're vacationing on a budget when...

...you bring your own large $10 bottle of wine to drink in your hotel.

...you let your 5-year old eat fries for dinner so you don't have to buy him a meal at the hotel's restaurant.

Add yours!

It is! I hadn't thought about it, but we're going out of town this weekend and I'll be sure to pack a bottle for the trip. Thanks for the tip!!

Sounds like my idea of a vacation.. throw in some cooler ranch doritos and I'm all in..

You stay at your parent's house to avoid paying for a hotel.

You sit through a 3 hour presentation on time shares to claim your "free vacation." It worked, still...

You stop at the local Costco and stock up on items that you shove in your hotel mini-fridge, to avoid buying meals at restaurants.

Pack PBJ ingredients and cheese sticks so you don't need to stop for snacks.

And pick up free silverware to use it from grocery stores.

Our MO is often to take a run when we get there to a grocery store (esp if we flew). And I mean an actual jog, not just a trip. We get fruit, veggies, and yogurt to picnic on in the hotel. "running errands" kills so many birds with one stone.

You only go because your in-laws are paying

...your timing is determined by the CME calendar because most of the costs will be reimbursed if the doc can pretend to take a class.

[niener]

... You hunt down your old student ID card to get discounts at the museums

... You routinely Google "Free things to do in (enter city here)"

... Your destination is largely dependent on Southwest's semi-annual $39/$79/$129 sale

... You're intimately familiar with every 2 star hotel chain

... You lie about the number of people staying in one hotel room and sneak the extras through the back door

+1!

Then you have to go on vacation with your brother in law's stupid w***e wife...



you have a stay-cation and stare at each other on the couch watching reruns of friends...

[v-girl]

You rush down to the hotel restaurant to eat breakfast for free before 9am.
