How To Score Free Food & Drinks For Road Trips

 

Eating out while on vacation is expensive, especially when you have a family to feed. Here are some ideas on how to score free food while on road trips and while on vacation. Some of these may require a little effort (like signing up for email or downloading an APP), but the reward is definitely worth it.

 

**Some of these APP Rewards and printable free Coupons have expiration dates. For instance, I printed out the free Minibon coupon. The expiration date gave me two weeks to use the coupon. If you want to use these free food offers for a road trip or for a certain date, you might want to consider applying for these offers closer to your travel dates.
