One summer, early in my traveling career, I took my mother with me on my work-related road trips. Not because she was great company, but because with her in tow I could get a senior discount on motel rooms.

I’ve wised up over the years and found other ways to cut costs when out on the road. I scour Web sites and tourism brochures for hotel and meal coupons. I take advantage of discounts available to card-carrying members of Costco and AAA. I stick to hotels that offer complimentary breakfast and free Wi-Fi. And while I have no qualms about taking an extra apple or banana from a hotel breakfast bar and saving it for lunch, I stop short at pocketing those tiny unopened jam jars on room-service trays other travelers leave outside their doors — although I’ll admit I’ve sometimes been tempted.
