Top 10 Ways for a Cheap Road Trip

3. Cheap Entertainment

Entertainment doesn’t have to be expensive. With some light research (like Googling “free and cheap Los Angeles”), you’ll find plenty of affordable events or happenings at your destination. Local events are frequently affordable, and you’ll get great insight into the local community.
Even things that you normally associate with being expensive, such as Broadway tickets, can be purchased cheaply or sometimes for free. Some more expensive entertainment will offer free tickets if you’re willing to get in line early in the morning.

2. Teamwork!

If you’re traveling with a group, pool your resources together to share and split everything! Even among a small group, someone WILL have something the other people in the group won’t have. Someone will have the most gas-efficient vehicle, someone else will probably have an extra sleeping bag, and after reading this article, you’ll have plenty of great ideas on how to cut down on costs.

1. Pack Your Own Food

Food is another fixed expense. However, there are a lot of money-saving ways you can eat without resorting to unhealthy fast food.
Prepare food yourself. Like at home, making your own food is usually cheaper than eating out. Treat it like a camping trip and pack along things like a stove burner, pots and pans, and dehydrated food. Or you can get fancy and pack fresh produce into a cooler.
Meals ready to eat (MREs) are simple, pack a caloric punch, and can be quite affordable. They’re also easy to stow away.
