In between our international trips, we like to fill our weekends with days out and staycations around the UK. Whether it's a trip to London for some museums or a weekend in a different part of the country, we always try and make time for seeing attractions and places in our home country. The only downside about this is the fact that tourist attractions and hotels in the UK are much more expensive than abroad and when you're trying to plan things regularly, it can be difficult to stick to a budget. I'm quite savvy when it comes to finding deals for days out, so I thought I'd talk about my top tips for saving money on days out in today's post.
1. Use discount codes!
2. Book your tickets in advance.
3. Take lunch with you.
4. Two for one days out by train.
5. If there's a group of you, travel by car.
If you travel by car the petrol price can be shared between you, which is often much cheaper than each of you having to pay for train or bus tickets. Recently we found that it's much more affordable for us to drive to Brighton for the day and also pay for parking, than get the train to London and back.
Hopefully these tips have shown you that days out don't always have to be expensive. If you just plan ahead and work out all of the costs in advance, you can end up saving a lot of money on days out.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Trust me, I was never familiar with all these tricks on saving money. Now I see why I always spend more cash than other friends who party on vacations as well. Thank you for helping me out realize how much I need to improve my saving skills.
