Wednesday, 4 other teachers and I will be heading off to town to a conference. We'll get back late on Saturday. I'm excited to go, mostly because everyone needs a break once in a while, and this should be fun!
Anyway, we have to pay for our own meals, then we'll get reimbused later from the school. So that means I have to take cash. I want to be as frugal as possible with those meals. If it was just me, I'd just head off to fast food for the meals, to save money. But with 4 other people along, I'm sure we'll head to "actual" restaurants. I've already decided that I'll order water with my meals. On the rare occasions that dh and I go out, that's what I do anyway.
Last night, we were at Walmart, and I thought I'd just pick something up to pack in my bag. I wanted something that I could grab for a snack or breakfast. I found a box of Walmart-brand Pop Tarts for $1.25. They'll fit in the luggage, and there are 8 servings for $1.25. That's definitely better than stopping somewhere for breakfast.
Does anyone else have any other tips for saving money when going on a business trip? I don't have to worry about paying for the hotel; the school takes care of that. I just have to deal with paying for meals. Thanks in advance!
