Travel has a habit of opening our eyes to whole new world of different cultures, experiences, gives us a world of new experiences and offers a different perspective on life. Holidaying abroad is an amazing way to teach children about the world they live in and immerse themselves in a whole new culture. However, equally holidaying in the UK can be an eye opener and often the preferred option for those on a budget or with younger children when the thought of taking them on flights is often a major turn off! And if you want a super cheap break then why not look to the UK? Holidaying in the rain in England is surely a rite of passage to allow us to really appreciate the hot weather offered abroad!
Overspending, over-indulging, and living beyond our means are definitely bad habits that most of us are guilty of committing on holiday. It’s one of the few times of the year when we can spend whatever we feel like and enjoy ourselves without thinking too much about tomorrow - but when you come back home after a few weeks, was it really worth it?
This year, you should try to enjoy yourself while still staying within your budget. It is actually possible! Read on ….

Is there something you just can’t do without while you’re on holiday? It might not feel like a holiday without those nice little meals out or a cocktail or two with your lunch, if so then it’s important that you’re allowed to treat yourself to this - but try to cut down in other areas to compensate. For example, saving on your holiday accommodation allows for more on those luxury items that you really want on your holiday! Or perhaps you can do it the other way around; cook in the apartment you’re renting but make sure that it’s lovely and somewhere you actually enjoy being. Make sure you shop around for the best holiday meal deal vouchers for the best money off eating out discounts before you jet off to save time, effort and stress when you’re away. Planning your holiday before you go away will mean you not only save money but have more time to relax.
Or just go for an all inclusive holiday where you don’t have to worry if the kids don’t like their food, just go up for a different course! All inclusive holidays with drink included are the best if you like the occasional cocktail because these can cost a fortune on holiday! Check out Easy Jet Holidays for all inclusive holiday deals that are affordable and from a brand you can trust!
Staying safe and money smart while you’re on holiday means that you need to get a few of these boring preparations over with first. Returning home to a huge phone bill or an insurance that won’t cover the costs of the camera someone stole from you will be way less fun. Vodafone have some great offers while travelling, you can view them on our site. Same with EE whose latest offers can be found here on our site.
Getting the best deal on your holiday insurance especially family holiday insurance is important but making sure you have holiday insurance is an absolute must!
