Money-Saving Tips
Eat at local markets and neighborhood cafeterias instead of tourist areas (typically 40-60% cheaper)
Use marshrutkas and public buses instead of taxis (usually 70-80% savings on transportation)
Visit monasteries and churches which are generally free, rather than paying for multiple museum entries
Stay in residential neighborhoods outside city centers for accommodation savings of 30-50%
Buy groceries and prepare some meals yourself, especially breakfast (can save $10-20 per day)
Travel during shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October) for 20-40% lower accommodation rates
Book guesthouses directly rather than through booking platforms to avoid commission markups
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Taking taxis everywhere instead of using efficient public transport system (can triple transportation costs)
Eating only in tourist-heavy areas like Republic Square vicinity (typically 50-100% markup over local prices)
Not negotiating prices for longer stays at guesthouses (missing potential 15-25% discounts for week+ stays)
