Are you packing up the kids and heading somewhere great this week?
Be prepared for the food stops and the charges that come with it.

Airport prices seem sky high when you try to buy just a few snacks and beverages.
The Port Authority of New York is trying to crack down on price gauging by only allowing a 10% increase on what an off airport vendor would charge.

Traveling by car? Instead of stopping at every rest stop. Pack a bento box with pre-measured chips, cookies, sandwiches and drinks.
