Re: Really Cheapskate Tip

I buy cheap pins for trading. We also shop at the outlet stores, on ebay or disneydeals for clothes to wear on the trip. We stay at the value resort with discount codes and bring in snacks and drinks. We bring our own ponchos. We buy kids meals and share food. Also, at the counter service restaurants...although it says "basket" which includes fries...we get the burger/dog/whatever without the fries or we'll make one a basket and one without...saves some $ over the trip not having to pay for fries each and every meal. I bought a bunch of the Q&C vouchers to use (in December...I'm glad I was too anxious to wait to buy them!). If we absolutely have to do a sit-down meal...we make it for lunch which is a little cheaper...or we just pop in for dessert. When in doubt...overpack!! It killed me 2 years ago to have to buy my DD a $48 sweatjacket when she had a few at home...even the gloves for DD and her friends cold fingers...$8/pair!! I can get those for like $1-3 at Target! UGH!!
