Well, we just got back from skiing this weekend and had so much fun. We are tracking our money this month very carefully so we saved some money by making dinner Saturday night. Yes, we did ski so I knew I would be exhausted. Hence, the crockpot made the trip with us. I made Chicken Tortilla Soup and it was so nice to have it already ready when we got back. Not to mention that we saved at least 30 euro by eating in. Leftovers came home and will be frozen for later use.
We also tried to save some money by renting our skis on post. I think that to ensure a better fit, we will rent where we ski next time. The skis and boots are in better shape and can be adjusted if there are problems (like Easton's bindings being tooooooo tight!).
We took snacks with us as well as water and apfel schorle (like apple soda). Since I get great deals on all my snacks or make my cookies from scratch, I know that I have saved money.
For some of you, vacationing means not cooking. I am the same way but after spending 30-40 euro ($50-60) on a meal, it makes me look at cooking in a whole new way. Use your crockpot, buy a premade lasagna, or other short cuts that you might not normally. In the end, you will still have a great vacation with more money to spend and get to eat well.
We will be gone this weekend and early next week for some retreats. I will post some new recipes, but needless to say, I won't be cooking myself!
