When my son was younger, I almost always took snacks and water with us. If we went away for more than a day we took sandwich fixings. If I forgot Murphy's Law would kick in and kick me. With my ex it was more difficult because he didn't consider it a vacation if he doesn't eat out every meal and just go with the flow (no planning) which is almost always more expensive as the article above shows.

Convenience costs. Hotels are more expensive than campsites, gas is more pricy when we are far from big towns, eating a meal cooked in a resturant requires greater financial outlay that does eating the same meal at home. Another truth I encounter as often... You can't put a price on experience or education or time with family. There is a truth I encounter almost daily… Convenience costs.
