Do you find yourself on the road a lot in the summer? Do you also find it challenging to keep your food on budget when you travel?

Don’t be afraid to bring food with you! It may be hard when everyone else is stopping to eat out but you’ll save money and probably eat healthier too.

My son had a summer ball tournament this weekend 3 hours away. So we packed sandwich rolls, lunch meat, cheese, chips & fruit and hit the road. We brought Gatorade powder to so he can stay hydrated and not be so tempted by soda at the snack bar. And here’s one more tip, freeze water in half gallon plastic bottles and use them to keep food cold in addition to traditional cold packs. Then as they start to melt, you have nice cold water to fill your personal water bottles.

What are your best tips for saving money on food when you’re on the road?
