5 thrifty travel tips

We have just come back from an amazing holiday and I want to share my top 5 thrifty travel tips from our trip with you.

5 thrifty travel tips

  1. We waited. We waited till 3 weeks before we wanted to go then searched for a last minute villa in Portugal. We saved nearly 80% that way and got our villa for around £400 as it was un-booked.
  2. We flew from a local airport. This saved us money on parking and petrol we were able to get a lift ( by offering to return the favour) and the fact we went on a very early flight meant we had almost an extra day of holiday!
  3.  I bought no new clothes. We had what we needed and buying new clothes for holidays is a bad habit I have got in to. No need at all they all get sun screen marked anyways!
  4.  We self catered. Meals out can cost up to £50 a pop adding huge amounts to holiday expenses…self catering is easier, cheaper and more flexible.
  5. Don’t take too much cash. I took way to  many euros and lost quite a bit switching hem back to pounds I really could have used my card more

Do you have any good travel tips? If so I would just LOVE to hear!

    Amazing bargain on your villa, what a fabulous holiday. I’m a big fan of self-catering too.

    We got an amazing bargain a week before going away – I remember people around the pool talking about the ‘deal’ they got, at around 4x the price of our price! Great tips here!

    Thinking of doing the same for our summer hols. Winging it with a late deal.
