  1. Find restaurants and motels where kids stay and eat free. Mykidseatfree.com has lists for restaurants. This alone can save a bundle. Some hotels have unspoken policies on kids’ meals. For example, the Fairmont chain lets kids eat off the main menu at half price. Always ask in advance what the policy is for kids eating the buffet. Often, there is no charge if they are eating off your plate.
  2. Buy entertainment coupon books for the city you’re visiting. This might not be something you would do in your hometown, but might be just the ticket when you’ll be eating out every day. Go to Entertainment.com to order a book in one of 150 editions.
  3. Give your kids an allowance. Rather than listening to kids whine “can I get it” every day, give them a souvenir allowance. Break it up to once a day or every few days so they don’t blow it all at once.
  4. Pack a cooler. Traveling families have been packing lunches, fruit and snacks in coolers for years as they take to the roads.
  5. Buy canteens and water bottles for the whole family. Don’t buy sodas or bottled water. You’ll be doing the environment a favor as well.
