When it comes to budget travel, it’s often the little things that add up fast, especially when you’re in popular tourist destinations where a bottle of Coca-Cola can easily run you four or five dollars. But with a little planning, saving money while you travel isn’t too difficult! Here are a few easy money-saving secrets from the road.

Watch what and when you eat.

If you’re staying at a hotel with breakfast included, be sure to eat as much protein as possible to keep you full later into the day, and don’t hesitate to grab a fruit and yogurt to save for a snack later…after all, you’re paying for it! Generally, it’s cheapest to eat out at breakfast and lunch instead of dinner. Pack a water bottle and snacks during the day to avoid high-cost snacking and bottled drinks. For restaurant savings, try signing up for a site like restaurant.com or Living Social for deals in your preferred area.

Mix up your flights

Choosing one-way, indirect and multi-airline flights could save you hundreds of dollars, depending on where you are. Using sites like Travel Set Go or Skyscanner to search your route will bring up all of the alternatives—who knows, you may even find a new adventure on a long layover!

Try boutique hotels and apartments

Skip high-cost luxury hotels and choose boutique hotels which are often independently owned and operated. Many cities also have super nice and cheap apartments for rent on the standard discount hotel sites. Check out Travel Set Go to find the best deals on hotels around the world.

Pack light to avoid extra baggage fees

Weigh your luggage before you go and wear anything that’s extra bulky on the plane. Choose light materials (think linen and cotton) that are easy to hand wash and pack some gentle soap and a travel clothesline. If your wardrobe is versatile (black is always chic) you can go for a couple of weeks with just a few days worth of stuff. It’s so much easier, and you’ll be so happy you aren’t lugging too much around!
