Eat On Maui On The Cheap

Maui has great food, especially seafood. But because it's an island, things are more expensive. If you've got a few mouths to feed on your trip, look into lower-cost options that allow you to enjoy your time instead of watching your bank account.


Instructions


1. Decide which meals you'd like to splurge on and which meals you'd rather keep costs down on. This may mean spending less on breakfast and lunch so you can enjoy a nice dinner.


2. Get out of the resort or hotel you may be staying at and drive to places like Kihei and Lahaina if you're on the west side of Maui. They're more touristy and can give you more choices for prices and types of food. If you're driving through some of the less touristy sections of the island, keep your eyes peeled for roadside fruit stands. The prices are great and the fruit is homegrown and picked fresh.


3. Go to the grocery store and buy the fixings for breakfasts and lunches. Add a cheap cooler, and you can take picnics on your day trips that will save you money on the road.


4. Look into planning trips with tour companies that include meals in their fees. Many of the snorkel and scuba trips include breakfast and lunch buffets in the cost.


5. Check out the Maui tour guide magazines, available at practically every hotel, store and restaurant on the island. They feature a lot of coupons and discounts.
