Memorial Day Weekend

How exciting to enjoy this Memorial Day Weekend!

If you planned on a weekend get-away from Chicago and going on a day trip, don’t forget to pack some snacks for the road because you want to arrive at your destination ASAP so you can plop down, relax and get some much needed R&R right? Whether you are going to Indian Lakes Resort, Grand Geneva, Milwaukee or even just to St. Charles, if you are coming from Chicago, you are going to need snacks.

Good snacks are ready cut fruits and vegetables such as mangoes(dried ones too), papaya, jicama, carrots, cucumbers. Pack these in plastic containers or canning jars if you don’t like the idea of using/wasting disposable plastic(think earth friendly).

Tip for the frugal at heart: When we travel long distances and spend several nights in a hotel, sometimes we just want to stay in and catch a movie.  If we need a couple of dishes(microwave safe) and/or wine glasses we just head out to the nearest Goodwill or Resale Shop.  Then at the end of our stay we just leave them behind.

The same goes if you like reusable storage containers and want to save some money, resale shops are great places to find small storage food containers that are perfect for road trips. And because you are saving money – if you lose, break, or forget them it’s not a big deal – definitely not worth the mental stress when you’re supposed to be relaxing anyway.

Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend!
