But one mum has revealed the clever ways she keeps her holiday costs low without sacrificing the fun.
In an article in the Daily Express, Casey Major-Bunce, who is a social media influencer and mum-of-four, shared the money-saving tips she uses on holiday.
She said: “When we go abroad, we always take the small squeezy concentrated juice bottles. It saves so much money on buying the kids juice all day.
“If you have one child and they want four juice drinks a day then over a week you could be spending well over £50 when you can take a small squeezy bottle for around £1.50.”
These small squeezable bottles of squash are less than 100ml, which means they can be packed in hand luggage liquid bags.
The bottles can be purchased for as little as £1.50 from major supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury’s.
While a day at the beach may seem like a pocket-friendly activity, many parents will know that beach toys in holiday hotspots can be costly.
But for those holidaymakers who are travelling with plenty of hold luggage, Casey had another trick up her sleeve.
She added: “If you can fit extra stuff in your luggage, then pop to places like Poundland and Home Bargains and grab yourself some snorkels, inflatables, and even a bucket and spade.”
In many holiday hotspots, items like these can cost a small fortune, so if you’re on a budget it’s always best to be prepared.
Sun Online Travel found beach buckets for as little as £2 online, while inflatable rubber rings were as cheap as £5.
Meanwhile, a group of savvy mums on TikTok are proving that holidays don’t have to break the bank with their money-saving tips and tricks.
One mum has shared how she refills her favourite rollable sunscreen with a cheaper brand.
Known as the Budgetingmum on TikTok, she detached the rollable sunscreen ball from the travel-sized bottle and squeezed a pocket-friendly version inside.
She’s then able to keep the family’s favourite sunscreen bottle without the price tag.
Meanwhile, TikTok user Emma.mahonn uses the click-and-collect option on the shopping apps to purchase items and collect them at an airport store.
This ensures that you can carry your preferred 100ml+ goods in hand luggage and not pay airport prices.
Another savvy mum has revealed three ways she saves cash on her family holidays abroad – and you can too.
