Those checked baggage fees airlines feel compelled to charge can really add up, so travelling with a backpack only can represent some pretty serious savings. Plus, you\u2019ll save with other costs, such as not having to take taxis, for instance (you can walk with your backpack) and you\u2019ll be less inclined to buy more things you don\u2019t need (because you won\u2019t have the space for them).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Getting access to a kitchen to cook your own meals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By getting access to a kitchen, you can drastically decrease the amount you spend on food by not going out and, just as importantly, you\u2019ll be able to eat a lot healthier by not relying too much on easy fast food. It\u2019s all about savings in the long run \u2013 that $1,000 vacation seems a lot less daunting and hard on your wallet if you\u2019re able to bring it down to $500 or even $750. Not only will you save money by cooking your own food in a hostel, for instance, you\u2019re certain to make new friends who are doing the same!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Drive!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Maybe you can\u2019t afford to go to Cancun. Maybe Japan isn\u2019t going to be possible this year. That doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t take a trip to New York, Montreal or anywhere else near Toronto that you haven\u2019t seen yet. Road trips are great, cheap, and lots of fun and the best part is that you\u2019ll always be able to return whenever you want. Your schedule is truly your own when you\u2019re in charge of transportation.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Travel in a group<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The more of you in the group, the cheaper it is for every individual. Save money by stacking bodies in hotel rooms, getting group discounts on flights, or buying food in bulk to make meals for everyone. It\u2019s amazing how great of a bonding experience it can be to travel in a group \u2013 not to mention how amazing the savings will be!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is a great time for moving around the town and seeing everything you can, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":2413,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"coauthors":[220],"class_list":["post-2412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diy-life-hacks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Vacation hacks to get away from TO on a budget<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/53503b1c0fd1a6bc186b273abbee8d44\"},\"headline\":\"Vacation hacks to get away from TO on a budget\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-08-29T21:01:36+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget\"},\"wordCount\":481,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/travel2.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"DIY &amp; Life Hacks\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget\",\"name\":\"Vacation hacks to get away from TO on a budget\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/travel2.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-08-29T21:01:36+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/53503b1c0fd1a6bc186b273abbee8d44\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/travel2.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/travel2.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":1280,\"caption\":\"Vacation hacks to get away on a budget\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/vacation-hacks-to-get-away-from-to-on-a-budget#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Toronto Rentals Blog\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"DIY &amp; Life Hacks\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/diy-life-hacks\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Vacation hacks to get away from TO on a budget\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/\",\"name\":\"Toronto Rentals Blog\",\"description\":\"Looking for an apartment in Toronto?
