You may be planning a road trip or going to a funeral or wedding in another State. I am going to give you some old-fashioned tips on how to save money and make this trip much easier.
You need to call family members and find out exactly who is going and let everyone know the arrangements as far as who is going to share in the Gas and the Tolls for the trip. It is a good idea to plan on what food you will prepare and take so that you can lessen the cost associated with food while going on this trip.
- Talk to other people in the family about preparing sandwiches, fried chicken, and food that people in the family with health issues will require.
- 2 family members can bring all the beverages for the entire family.
- Buy and freeze water the day before the trip.
- Purchase First Aid Kit.
- Bring soap, hand sanitizer, toilet tissue and paper towels.
- Pack medications you will need.
- Go through you and your children's wardrobe and bring clothes that you already have so you do not have to purchase a lot of new things. If you do purchase clothes, just buy one outfit for the event because people in other States have not seen your old clothes and this will further reduce the money you will have to spend.
- Buy paper plates, cups, and eating utensils
- .If possible, go to sleep very early the night before, because you will be on the road for a long time.
- Bring your Camera so you can take pictures of your family.
Now, you will be tempted to buy some food while you are on the road, but you will not spend as much.
Coming back home you will be stopping to get food and drinks but it is still cheaper than buying all these things going and coming.
Another Tip:
You and your immediate family can start a small fund to put in the bank towards emergency travel and each member can contribute $10.00 per month to save for unforeseen emergencies.
