Re: Really Cheapskate Tip

Here are our tips for saving money (These are top-secret, so don't tell a soul!):
-We stay off property so we can have a cheap room with a kitchen -- our kids hate restaurants for breakfast (waste of their time!), so we make inexpensive breakfast for the family -- bowls of cereal, bagels, scrambled eggs... and get out the door EARLY!

-The kids take a fanny pack with a bottle of water, a snack, and a couple of dollars in it. This way, we don't have to payrder megabucks every single time they are hungry! We can save the cash for a wonderful Mickey bar or chocolate chip cookie!

-Two on a turkey leg!

-Schedule one big meal per day, and the others are small snack-type meals.

-Order well drinks instead of call brands.

-Only buy suovenirs on the last day of vacation!
