We're very new to gymnastics, let alone competing, so any advice you might have on how to attend a meet on a budget will not be too obvious to post. The closest experiences I have had involved music competitions as a teenager, but those were always day trips and I wasn't the adult.
One of the meets we have coming up next month is going to be about a 4.5-hour drive away and we'll be there for the entire weekend. Money is extremely tight right now and will be at least through next month. We found an inexpensive hotel nearby, which means that there won't be a fridge or microwave or a free breakfast, but I would also still like to bring as much food as possible for the weekend so we only have to eat out a couple of times.
We have no dietary restrictions. So far, I'm thinking that we'll bring granola bars, beef jerky, some canned soups and a hot pot to heat them, fruits and veggies in a coolor, and bread with peanut butter and honey to make sandwiches.
I'm a little hazy on what to do for breakfast that has a good amount of protein, but maybe I'm just overthinking it.
And I'm sure there's more to attending a meet on a budget than just bringing food, but I have no idea what that might involve. My mom is probably coming with dd and me so it'll be three people at most.
