1. Plan ahead.
We opt for AirBNBs with full-size kitchens or at least a refrigerator.
2. Use a grocery delivery service.
We rely on Instacart®. Though prices may be up to 10% higher, the true savings stem from avoiding unnecessary purchases and reclaiming 1-2 hours of our time, which is especially valuable while traveling.
3. Pre-cooked food.
We love grabbing top-notch, affordable, pre-cooked meals from Costco®. With a kitchen available, we could cook, but on vacation, time was precious.
