Tip #5: Free down time activities

Other ways to kill time and limit your expenditures include reading a book or newspaper, writing letters home to family members, check email or doing internet research when you find free wifi. You can also practice an instrument, playing card games, watch a football match on TV, or just chat with locals.

Tip #5: Free markets

Food markets, flea and antique markets are usually free to visit, they provide you plenty of interesting things to see! There's endless photography opportunities and usually don't cost a thing unless you opt to buy something. Even if you are traveling for cheap, markets can make interesting and fun places to spend time. Sometimes you can find free/cheap food to sample as well.

Tip #4: Free self-walks

Many cities have designed Self Walks. A great place to pick up this information is in tourist offices. These walks are free to follow and a good way to spend a few hours of your time enjoying low, or no cost activity. Many cities sponsor Heritage, History, Architecture and other themed walks. Food-trails and pub-crawls are quite common as well, although these tend to cost you a bit.

The Cheap Eats! 🍽
Tip #6: Join a Restaurant Rewards Program

Don’t just stop at seeking out restaurant discounts and coupons, join a rewards program to add up points while you dine. This is an excellent way to score a cheap dinner. One example is T.G.I. Friday’s free reward program where you earn 1 point for every dollar spent and are eventually able to exchange the points for free food.
Lettuce Entertain You operates thousands of restaurants across the US which allows you to trade dining points for free meals, wine, and trips.💳

Tip #4: Choose Locations Wisely

Avoid unnecessary extra expenses, such as hotel room service. Instead, hit up restaurants, bars, and stores near colleges, which have tons of deals since students are generally broke. If you’re staying near a casino, you’ll likely find great deals on food. Lastly, if you decide to shop on your own, aim for ethnic and local grocery stores because they are cheaper than chains. 🍕🌭
