How to Enjoy Holidays on a Budget 

  • July 29, 2022
  • Jules

Everyone needs to have a holiday from time to time as a way to unwind, escape the stresses of daily life and explore new places. The trouble is that going away can also be hugely expensive, especially if you are looking to go abroad. So, what can you do to make overseas holidays more affordable? Read on for some tips on how you can do this.

Set a Budget & Stick to it

First, you want to establish a budget for your break and work out exactly how much realistically you can afford to spend. You might find it helpful to open a savings account specifically for your holiday, so that you can keep track and know exactly how much you have left as you start spending.

Go Self-Catering

Self-catering can also be a smart way to keep your costs down while also giving you the chance to enjoy home-cooked meals. Going out for dinner is all part of the experience when on holiday (and especially abroad) but doing this for every meal will cost a fortune no matter where you are, particularly if you are away with a large group. Book into self-catered accommodation and find a nearby supermarket to make significant savings on your food for the trip.

Use Price Comparison Websites

Price comparison websites are a fantastic tool to use when planning a holiday abroad. You can compare prices for your flights, accommodation and more and this could allow you to make significant savings on the most expensive elements of your holiday. Triavago, Travel Supermarket and Kayak are a few of the best tools to use that will help you to compare prices and get a good deal.

Look Around for Deals Online

Following this, you should also find that you are able to find deals with some research online. This can include deals on tourist attractions, restaurants, flights, hotels and all other aspects of your trip. 

Avoid the Tourist Spots

In terms of spending money while you are on the trip, you will find it best to avoid the popular tourist spots as these are usually the most expensive areas. Instead, try to find out where the locals go to find the more affordable options. In addition to helping you to save money, this will also give you a more authentic experience as well!

Hopefully, this post will help you to make savings on your trip away and enjoy a fantastic trip. It is important to have a vacation from time to time, but the cost of these can be hard to manage especially when travelling abroad. There are always ways to make savings, though, while still giving you a special experience.
