Money-Saving Tips
Eat lunch at local workers' restaurants where daily specials run 30-50% cheaper than dinner menus and taste what office crews queue up for.
Use service taxis (shared) instead of private taxis - typically 60-70% less expensive for the same route and you might catch some neighborhood news along the way.
Book accommodation directly with properties rather than through booking sites for 15-25% discounts and often better rooms than the algorithm offers.
Visit attractions early morning when entry fees are often reduced by 20-30%
Shop at local markets rather than hotel gift shops for souvenirs - expect 50-70% savings and stories from the vendors who made them.
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Taxi drivers not using meters or agreeing on fixed rates (expect to pay 2-3x meter rate) will clock you from a block away and open negotiations sky-high.
Dining at restaurants with English-only menus near major attractions (usually 100-150% markup) swaps convenience for cash and often trades flavor for both.
Not carrying small bills - vendors often claim no change for larger denominations and suddenly that cheap souvenir becomes an expensive lesson.
