    It doesn't matter if we're staying in a 3⭐️ or It doesn't matter if we're staying in a 3⭐️ or 5⭐️ hotel, we always bring a cooler! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1. It allows us to bring our own drinks.​​​​​​​​
2. We like to drink a lot of water.​​​​​​​​
3. Have you seen the price of (insert anything) lately?! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I'm all for saving where we can and this is an easy way to do it. If our accommodations include a kitchen, that's even better. 🍳​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How do you save on food when vacationing?​​​​​​​​
