As a self-proclaimed Money Saving Expert, I’m always on the lookout for destinations that offer a perfect blend of fun and frugality. And, I’m thrilled to share with you my latest discovery - the charming seaside resort of Blackpool!
Sun, sand, and savings galore!
I must confess, I was inspired by Martin Lewis’s recent Facebook post, where he raved about Blackpool’s wide sandy beach, thrilling rides, and water parks. As a fellow money-saver, I couldn’t agree more! Blackpool is an absolute gem, and I’m excited to share my own money-saving tips and tricks to make your trip even more enjoyable.
Getting There on a Shoestring
One of the cheapest ways to travel to Blackpool is by coach. I recently took the National Express coach from Manchester, and it cost me a mere £4 for a one-way ticket - a fraction of the £14 average adult single rail ticket! You can also drive or take the train, but why not save those extra pounds for more important things… like fish and chips?
Dining on a Dime
Speaking of food, I’ve got a fantastic tip for you. Ditch the pricey fish and chips on the front and head to Higgitt’s Las Vegas Arcade and £1 Burger Bar instead. Their £1 burgers might not be gourmet, but they’re a wallet-friendly option that’ll keep you going throughout the day.
Free Fun in the Sun
Blackpool is packed with free activities to enjoy. Take a leisurely stroll along the comedy carpet, soak up the sun on the beach, or take a romantic walk along the pier. If you’re feeling adventurous, visit the Blackpool Model Village, a hidden gem on the edge of town. And, of course, no trip to Blackpool is complete without a visit to the iconic Ballroom.
More Money-Saving Tips
- Consider visiting during the off-season to avoid peak prices.
- Look out for special deals and discounts on attraction tickets.
- Pack a picnic lunch to avoid overspending on food.
In conclusion, Blackpool is a money-saving paradise that’s perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. With its beautiful beach, exciting attractions, and wallet-friendly options, you’ll be spoiled for choice. So, what are you waiting for? Book your ticket, grab your sunscreen, and get ready to soak up the fun in Blackpool!
