Best Apps for Saving Money on Day Trips
Want to go on a day trip with friends or your family? We'll show you how you can do it and save money at the same time.
While a lot of people love going on long trips, there are as many people who know how much fun a day trip can be. Just getting away from home for a few hours or so can make a huge difference, especially when you've been in your home for a long time. Even going to someplace two or so hours away can feel like a vacation.
One of the best things you can do to save money is downloading an app that helps you find the best prices for gas and food. This will ensure that you don't pay too much money to fill up yourself and your car. Check my recommendation below to see my favorite app.
Once you have apps on your phone to help you save money on food and gas, the next thing you can do is download an app to tell you what is nearby in your area. Eventbrite is one of the best apps that you can use to find what's in your general area. This has a lot of fun events at all prices, including free, so you can find one that will work for your budget.
Finally, we have now started to offer a new service where you can sign up for alerts anytime new codes and coupons are posted on our site. This is one of the easiest ways to get discounts on the services and products you want.
How it works is that you choose the categories that you want to get discounts on. Then you give your email. You will get alerts anytime a new deal is posted in that category so that you can take advantage of it immediately. It helps you spend less money and get great deals.

Anytime you are in the car, the last thing you want to do is worry about spending 1/3 of your trip finding the best gas prices. That's why my friends and I have this app on our phones. It helps us find the best prices anywhere we are.

You don't need to spend 100s of dollars for a simple road trip. Plan well ahead, avoid expensive spots, and instead, find something within your budget that is just as fun. Close by or miles away - Roadtrippers is a pretty good app to consult.

Creating a day trip for under $50 can be difficult, but all you'll need is gas if you know where to find the best hiking spots near you. Whether you're an experienced hiker or you just need a simple nature walk, you can locate your next adventure on your phone.
