We took a mini-vacation on the first of the year, because it seemed like a good time to get away for a bit and take the wee one to see the animals. I cringed a bit as the expenses piled up, and couldn't believe it was
my idea to go. Because if you can't be a good example, you can at least be a warning to others, I share this with you:
1 night at a hotel with heated indoor pool and free hot breakfast | $92 |
Admission for 3 to the aquarium | $74 |
Lunch and dinner the first day, lunch on the second day | $105 |
Tank of gas | $36 |
Tally | $307 |
More Mustachian version:
Pack lunch for the first day, fill up tank at a cheaper station, save $40.
Most Mustachian alternate:
Plan outing further in advance. Instead of this aquarium, pick up pass for discount admission to closer aquarium or zoo via library. Do a day pass at the YMCA or local hotel for swimming. Sleep and eat at home. Avoid 4 hours wasted in the car and reduce expenses to $43.
