Save a Little on the Road

As we enter the peak of the summer driving season, here is a little tip from our house hold to help save you some dough.  No, it is not the latest fad in fuel savings gimmicks.  Pack your lunch.

Take a cooler and pack lunch for the family.  Just lunch, no snacks. That would lead to some unhealthy munching.  What is the price for a family of 5 to eat lunch at FatDonalds?  I mean besides the cost of diabetes and heart attacks.  What ever the cost, you can pack a good, healthy, and satisfying lunch for your family that will be cheaper than handing cash over to the clown. 

Hear is another option for those of you who rent places with a kitchen.  We will make things like taco meat and all the sides.  We may even make a big serving of pot roast.  We freeze it the night before and pack it in a cooler with with ice.  After traveling all day, it is still rock solid frozen.  No need to go pay the big bucks for dinner every night.

Yes, go out to eat every once and a while.  You are on vacation.  Just remember that your urge to go out dinning will go away once your belly is fully of home cooking.
