Dine In 


One of the biggest ways you can save on vacation in Myrtle Beach is by staying in for some of your meals. Whether you want to pack a lunch for your day at the beach or cook up some eggs for breakfast, you can do that when you book a hotel BLUE suite or efficiency that has a kitchen. Just be sure to hit up the grocery store when you get to town so you can stock up on cereal, sandwich supplies, drinks and snacks. You can even plan to have an in-room Italian dinner complete with fettuccine alfredo, garlic bread and some delicious red wine. Want to finish your meal off right? Pick up some tasty cheesecake for dessert from the local grocery store bakery. Why spend $6 or $7 per person on dessert at a restaurant when you can buy a whole cheesecake for the same price? Plus, by eating in you don’t have to worry about the extra costs involved with going out including taxes and tip.


Insider Tip: We are only about half a mile from a Food Lion grocery store. If you don’t already have their free MVP Card, sign up for one to save on specials they may have going on during your shopping trip. Plus, they carry their own brand called My Essentials, which are typically less expensive than their full-priced name-brand counterparts.
