A benefit of renting a villa is having a kitchen. Food is one of the most
expensive parts of a Disney vacation. Making your own meals is a great way to
reduce cost.
We will take our normal grocery budget and spend it just as
if we would if we weren't on vacation. At first consideration it would seem that
groceries will be a financial wash... Until we got into the details.
I
used all the grocery receipts from our 2013 trip to make a shopping list for our
first trip for the store when we arrive. We then removed from the list anything
we had bought in 2013 and didn't use, and added anything that we didn't buy
enough of.
The end result was a huge grocery list! Why? Because I have
to buy things I don't normally buy every week: soaps, detergents, cleaning, and
condiments. A jar of peanut butter, for example, will last the entire trip but
needs to be bought during the first week.
The grocery list is finished
now and is ready. We will arrive at the villa Sunday afternoon, June 29, unpack
the van, then head to the store.
