I’d also like to share a trick me and a friend did during the Cache Bash. We each had a water bottle that we filled up at the hotel. I bought a gallon jug at Wal-Mart for 50 cents and filled that up at the hotel as well. Then when our bottles got empty we just refilled them from the jug. Saved time and we didn’t have to pay for drinks!
We try to pack a lunch too, but sometimes its just too much to do so early in the morning. So we have a Gold C book in our cache bag. Its organized by city so you can look up coupons by area. We had two orders of denver omlettes, toast, hashbrowns and coffee last weekend for $5.00. Besides food, there is dry cleaning coupons for the mud and grass stains on your pants and even a carwash or two for the cache mobile.

Oh ya, we tried that trick too. “We’re thirsty!” say the children. Well, you’re in luck, I say, here is some very nice water that I brought from home in your very own water bottle. They look at you like you have horns growing out of your head…
I concur. I would suggest staying away from bottled water at the all too convenient gas station. Filter water at home, if you do so, and make a collection of 20oz pop bottles. Those .69, .99 cent, and larger bottles do add up after a while.
