Going on vacation comes with a big price. Not only must you spend money on hotel accommodations, airfare travel, and a rental car and gas you must also spend a good chunk of money on food. Here are some tips to help you eat cheap while on vacation and allow you to splurge on extra activities or nicer meals such as dinner.

You need to maximize your hotel facility. Most hotel rooms come complete with a mini fridge or bar. The mini fridge is great for storing and cooling bottled water that you can use for meals or for your on-the-go needs. Buy a 24 pack of bottled waters from a local grocery store or Costco if one is available and pile the bottles into your refrigerator in your room.

While at the store, pick up a small carton of milk, recyclable plastic bowls and spoons, a box of your favorite cereal and some travel fruit such as bananas and apples. Store the milk and fruit in your fridge. One unnecessary expense while on vacation is breakfast. Or if it's a morning coffee you cannot pass by, head to a local coffee shop and get your favorite coffee with a muffin, parfait or a doughnut.

At home you would normally eat a bowl of cereal or maybe some toast but how many days during the week are you sitting down for a full-on hearty breakfast? Maybe once a week if that, am I right? Then you will see why it's only more fitting to continue to eat small breakfast meals that are quick and kind to your wallet. Plus, you can save calorie for having lunch and dinner out while on the go.

Opt to eat a meal in one night. Have a pizza delivered to your hotel room and you can save as much as -.00. if pizza isn't exactly the thing you crave then you could make another stop at the local grocery store and pick up a whole roasted chicken, some paper plates and a side or two from the deli section like macaroni and cheese or prepackaged ready-to-eat salad kits.

Use some or all of these tips and you will be sure to eat cheap while on vacation.
