Yes, I hear you and congrats on arriving at the great grandparent status! We always drink water even going out to eat, so we got that one. I use the all ears website which gives you every restaurant and quick service and snacks in every park, with prices, and they update. I look for good prices and good eats for low prices and it really helps to know where to go to get what at what cost. Still working on other things to bring that travel well to avoid buying a lot of extra snacks. There are certain things I splurge on like Churro's...I like the ones in Mexico with the chocolate dipping sauce...yummy! Food is really the only thing I can save a little on, def. not the bulk of the budget but we are going just the same! And don't forget we now have to pay for transport to the resort from the airport, and....we now have to pay for luggage as many airline don't allow a carryon for free anymore. And the cost of the plane tickets, and on and on about things costing more. With all that said, we are really excited about our trip!I hear you. We have a new great grand son. Congratulations on your new great grandchild. They are wonderful.
I know how you are trying to save at disney, but I am wondering if it is even remotely possible to save on food while at disney. It seems their QS is costly, as are snacks. I dont' know what the answer is, but eating granola bars for breakfast sounds good. Disney has a captive audience and can charge what they want. I guess I would drink water (not costly drinks) and if you are a small eater, order kids meals. My husband and I usually eat kids meals (or at least I do) because there was too much food with regular meals for me. That might help.
Have a wonderful time
Yes, these things have happened to me as well. I can't always watch the register, so now I ask, "did that ring up as the sale price" which is something I've been doing when I have sale items. What drives me crazy is the medical bills that pour in with "pay this amount" and you're trying to figure out how the heck your insurance actually works, and you have bills coming from labs and offices all separately. I have to sit down and call my insurance and make sure things that are supposed to be covered are actually covered. It's sort of like calling Disney and have to call back three times because 1. you got disconnected, 2. they give you information you know is wrong, and 3. after all that they finally got it right and you have to check MDE to make sure.It happened again with yesterday's groceries.
Not only do we need to worry about inflation - but every week there is an error with the grocery bill. Human or computer (which is still a human who must enter info).
I have to check my receipt all the time. Hard to follow the cashier ringing when I am trying to bag groceries. The time that I remember to do a quick check of the receipt while leaving, usually no error. When I wait until I get home - always an error.
Most recent examples - I bought peaches on sale. They did not have a code. Apparently there were two peaches mixed in there with a code that were the expensive ones. I ended up paying for the entire batch the higher price and not the sale price. Would not have bought so many or bought the expensive ones.
Bought vitamins on sale 50% off. Usually no problem. Well it did not ring at 50% - I sent my husband back (I have broken foot and have not shopped in almost 4 weeks) to double check in case he made a mistake (can happen) and he was reimbursed $6. When he got home, I said, neither one of you knows math? The credit should have been $8.99.
Another pet peeve - and also about a month ago, I noticed the cashier holding on the the produce bag a little too much when she had the bag on the scale. . I questioned the weight. She told me the weight. I said, yes, I realize that but can you please weigh the apples again. Does not seem like 4 small apples weigh almost 2 pounds. I was very nice. I did not want to call her out on it. Sure enough it was much less than what rang up. She had to get an override since she cold not seem to take off original one. On my way out, I saw the front end person who did the override and told her - wether or not it's intentional, she is in a hurry or sloppy, she should not be doing what she is doing. Had I not questioned it, I would have paid a few dollars more with all more produce.
I bought a dip that I thought was a $1 off. I get home and it rang up the regular price.
Just some examples - I have not gone back for many things. I let so many things go - but it does add up.
This should probably be a whole other thread - but lately just getting frustrated that I need to have 5 eyes and look at the receipt over and over
I think I will start throwing everything in the wagon after cashier rings it up so I can pay attention to the screen. Pack it up when I get to the car.
Hope it works for you; it hasn’t for me. My cats are on prescription food and I haven’t been able to get it in months. Thankfully I can get the full fat version of their prescription food, so far, but they really need the diet version! Lol
I don’t want to like your post, but I very much agree with you.
I wonder what Disney will do for some reason they’ve gotten rid of all discounts. I expect to see a lot of people renting out their points for extra income.
It's ok.I don't like my post either. In fact, I'm really angry.
I feel yuh.
I agree. I would assume they are going to want to keep the resorts semi- full. I figure airlines will cut flights and staff and keep prices high....maybe? I do believe we'll have deflation eventually... but not in goods that are needed to survive like food and energy. Housing is started to collapse, and someone let the air out of the 401k's and IRA's. 2023 will not be a good year.
