We also bring our own sand toys. But I am totally willing to rent umbrellas and chairs so I can pay for the set up. It is so worth it to me to not have to haul that stuff back and forth every day. I really like finding all the local ice cream places, restaurants, etc. I grew up about half an hour from the beach and we went often. Part of the fun was always hitting the same French fry place (it's kinda famous there haha), the same popcorn place, the same picture by the big anchor, etc. To me, building those traditions of going back to the same places is part of what makes the beach so fun, and so I don't necessarily worry about saving money too much.

I'm definitely going to pick up pepperoni and string cheese to add to my travel snacks. So far I've planned to take our favorite mini candy bars, individual snack packs of peanut butter, crackers and pretzels. I've never considered take out as a cost savings, but you're so right! Such a great tip!

My trip to Aruba was so cheap last year just by having an English muffin everyday for breakfast in my hotel room and Subway for dinner! Thanks for the tips!Annsterwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441074446170101547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845564247295785989.post-16404315652499668312018-07-05T08:45:46.804-04:002018-07-05T08:45:46.804-04:00Yes to all of these tips!!

We hit up a grocery store in the town of our beach cottage and got milk, fruits, veggies and lunch meat and ice cream. We ate all our meals at home except for a “fancy” dinner out and ordering pizza one night. We stopped for chick fil a for lunch on the way to the beach- but then ate peanut butter sandwiches on the way home. It’s all about planning! And I think by not going out for every meal, it makes it so much more fun and special when you do!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329246820838281221noreply@blogger.com
