Kielce. A Frugal Journey

A short weekend getaway to Kielce with one rule: spend as little as we possibly can. Here is where we saved:

  • A kind lady at a petrol station gave us a fuel discount voucher, just like that, without us even asking.
  • We used a gift card for free entry to the Tropical Pools (Baseny Tropikalne), where we soaked all Saturday long.
  • Our accommodation was paid for with Revolut RevPoints.
  • Dinner at a Chinese restaurant ended up cheaper because they mixed up the dishes. It is a miracle we managed to order anything at all, as nobody there spoke Polish or English.
  • We all got reduced-price tickets to the Energetyczne Centrum Nauki (the science centre). Probably because the boys are now too old for it, but after a few years we wanted to visit it again.
  • Entry to Kadzielnia is free. The zip line is closed because the season is over, so we were not tempted.
  • A delicious birthday lunch at Wasabi Sushi was also paid for with a gift card that would have expired soon anyway.
  • We all got reduced-price tickets to Park Legend as well.
  • I bought a coffee at McDonald’s in a promotion for 5 PLN.
  • Paid parking in Kielce does not apply on weekends.

And now you know what we did on this short trip 🙂
