Summary

Total budget we set was $150 per day and £100 equivalent for our UK travel days.

Total budget being $2175 + £300

Our total food spends were $1919.49 + £156.49

We were really pleased with our budgeting and how we managed to stick to it.

A lot of days we managed to skip meals by just snacking and sharing things but we never went hungry.

We made good use of vouchers by signing up to a lot of email clubs which definitely saved us a bit of money.

Although the boys are 12 & 10 and have big appetites at home we mostly got away with them eating off the kids menus. The meals were plenty big enough for them and there were no complaints from them.
