Setting a Budget for going on Holiday


We are hoping for this sort of weather when we go on holiday, as August has been a bit of a washout round here ! August is always a bit of a 'spend' month round here and we are already well over the monthly budget as so many annual expenses fall due. We are still fine with the annual budget, but it does mean that I have set a holiday budget and stick to it !

I have used the viamichelin website to calculate the cheapest route to drive to Italy and it has also told us how much the tolls will be and how much a sticker for the motorway in Austria costs. The price of excursions to Venice etc. has been worked out and I have bought most of the food to take with us.

We have downloaded a few apps on MrShoestring's mobile which should help with cost saving and the budget covers ice creams but not meals out. I have a list of free places to go and am hoping that nice weather will mean that we do not have to pay out for indoor attractions.

Fingers crossed !

  1. Oh, to live in Europe instead of USA. Our states are nothing like Europes countries. I'm sure you'll all have a grand time!
