Tips for budget travel????

What tips do you have for cheap/budget travel both in large U.S. cities and abroad? How to find the best deals on all aspects of a trip?

Grab food at grocery stores. Use public transit

when you go on a trip and you go down to the lobby in the morning at your hotel, dont be afraid to ask the people who work there good tips and budgets. ask the locals: and if its around colleges and stuff where most students are on a budget, asking them is a good idea too cause you can usually find pretty good deals on food and stuff

Let's go "Travel on a Budget" has really good information about free stuff, cheap hotels, restaurants ...

After working in Hotels for 20 years #1 do not use those websites like expedia and travelocity or hotels.com, they are no bargains and you pay hefty penalties for any changes or cancellations and hidden booking fees (read the fine print)..either deal with the hotel direct or their website or 800 number. Never take the first offer on a rate...there are always discounts!!!!

Let me recommend a Disney Cruise, ONE price for everything, Food, entertainment, fun, travel to bahamas and disneys private island, and a stateroom!!!! OMG and the food is Great!
