Ibiza on a shoestring?

howardh said:
I have found taking a travel kettle, plastic beaker, plastic spoon/knife/fork, tin/can opener and a small plate invaluable for saving dosh.
So, when the euros are running out -
Lunch - half tin of new potatoes (empty into beaker, pour boiling water over, leave to stand for a minute), a few frankfurters (above process) and a sliced tomato on a plate + half baguette make a cheap half-decent meal!

Dinner, repeat process with what's left in the tins!

OK, I'm a cheapskate, but it leaves more money for the beer...!

God my budget goes out the window! Thats a good budget per day. Plus you dont have worry about food and tickets. Most of my money goes on sweets/party food and real food actually, thinking I am rich and eating in nice restaurants. Wont be doing that in oct! Cheap food to eat

We've got 14 days coming up, self catering, (and I mean sc) no clubs obviously.
I have €350 in my wallet, hoping for the best.

Yeah we just do alcohol but we'll make most of all inclusive. Also possibly smuggle for one club night. May have one nice meal out hopefully

@DonSimon - done room only once before and that was a struggle but then had bought tickets already which helped

Tickets beforehand can be a help, it's just Ibiza being Ibiza plans often disappear. Been lucky the past few years with the odd guest list which is always a bonus especially when down to the last few quid.
I seem to manage to spend quite a bit during the day on sunbeds, drinks, food and the odd taxi before even going out.
Being honest I know it's not value for money,and for what is spent I could do a month in mainland Spain or Portugal .
Still keep going back though

Only got guest list a handful of times and was just luck really, right place right time but it's nice when you save a few quid for more partying.
Usually counting out change for a beer and a burgerking while sitting in departures already thinking how I'm gonna get back over.

Check out priority pass. You can get it for £50 and your first visit is free. Basically means you'll get into lounges for £15 and a guest the same. Saves a fortune in airports and wit unlimited food and drink you're guaranteed to get your money's worth.
