Since we stayed in a condo we took a lot of food to make ourselves while we were there. This cut our food costs tremendously because eating out for a family of 5 is usually between $20-$60 at reasonably priced establishments. If we had eaten out all week long it would have cost us hundreds of dollars. We probably spent about $50-75 for the food that we took with us.
We did eat out a couple times. I, of course, googled "Cheap places to eat" before we went. Also, looking in the visitor's guide for the area you are going is helpful.
A few mornings I went and bought donuts at Daylight Donuts. They were pretty comparable to donut places at home and the kids loved their donuts.
On our last day there we went to a pizza/arcade restaurant called Downstairs At Eric's. It had a fun kid-friendly atmosphere with parent-friendly prices.
Of course, I kids loved playing at the arcade.
That is the end of our vacation. I hope you have gotten some ideas for finding fun and frugal things to do on your own vacation.
