15.With the summer holiday just around the corner,it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations.Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season

(37)A
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms.Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding.Stay with the locals.If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period,renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new?(38)EDuring your family trip,try new food where the locals eat.This will not just save money,but also provide you with a new and different experience.For smaller meals and snacks,avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
