10 Slightly Embarrassing Ways I Save Money
BYO extras to the hotel pool lunch
If you’re trying to save money and you’re traveling, the poolside menu at your hotel is the enemy. A tuna sandwich is somehow $17. A pina colada is $18 (how is it more than a meal!?) I do something that is probably against the pool’s rules and BYO the extras. I stash my own little bag of potato chips in my purse and dump those onto my sandwich plate. The servers walking by don’t know that I didn’t pay for the $4.75 chips sold at the pool. I also bring my own canned soda, get a cup from the bar, and pour my own drink. Sneaking in those extras can easily save you $10 at a poolside lunch.
