Back from Comic Con

Well we're back from Comic Con and here are a few things that we learned on how to save $$ at Con (any convention, really!!):

Bring your own bottle of water.  A bottle of water at a convention refreshment stand can cost upwards of $5.00. Bring your own and refill it at the water fountain.

Bring snacks.  Most likely, you are bringing a backpack or bag of some sort.  Granola bars, Cliff bars, hard candy.  I packed DH a small package of hummus and veggies, and a few tangerines each day as well. Crackers, pretzels and single serve peanut butter packs are great too.  Food at the concessions stands is crazy expensive and full of fat and sodium.

If you really want something, wait until the last day to buy it.  Most vendors don't want to take stock home with them, so frequently, they will lower the price on the last day to move it.

This last tip may seem like a "DUH", but: Be considerate to others around you, especially those with walkers, wheelchairs or strollers.
