While traveling, one of our biggest expenses is food. Some of the ways we've found to save money are:
Extended Stay Hotels
If you know that you are going to be spending 3 days or more in one place, extended stay hotels are a great option. The kitchens or kitchenettes provide a great way to prepare your own meals at a fraction of the cost of eating out. Preparing meals can even include picnic lunches. With kids that are particular eaters, making your own meals provides a way to give them nutritious meals that they enjoy eating.
Kids Eat Free
Many restaurants have nights that they let kids eat free with entree buying parents. There are even websites that keep track of these restaurants. Here are a few websites that I used when planning our Washington D.C. trip. These websites let you put in zip codes or addresses, so you can use them for more than just travel. Find deals close to home and enjoy a night out with your family.

Coupon Books
Look into getting local coupon books for the areas you will be visiting. This only works if you are planning on staying in an area for at least a week and you plan ahead with enough time to receive the books before you leave home. Coupon books provide coupons for local places that you wouldn't even know about otherwise.
