3 tips for a budget-friendly holiday
To avoid spending too much money unnecessarily on holiday, try these three tips on how to take a break, without breaking the bank.
1. Set a budget
The secret to a successful holiday? A budget, of course! Calculate the realistic amount of money you’ll need for your holiday and identify areas in your budget where you can make cuts. A good starting point is looking at expenses related to accommodation, food and entertainment. Simple cost-saving measures such as buying generic groceries and meal-planning instead of eating out every day will significantly improve your budgeting efforts for the vacation.
2. Find affordable accommodation
While we’d all enjoy staying in a 5-star hotel, we need to be mindful of our budget. By staying open to different options, you can discover comfortable and stylish accommodation options at half the price – especially if you book your stay for during the week. Did you know that you can score really great deals on accommodation when you book directly (instead of using an agency)? Another great tip is to opt for camping if you’re not going to spend much time at your booked stay anyway. It’s affordable, and you get to spend time in nature. So pitch your tent and brave the great outdoors.
3. Make your own gifts for loved ones
