San Diego is a big, beautiful, sparkly city with modern infrastructure, history and culture. That being said, it can be expensive visiting a new place. 

This is what we did to save money. We camped in Jamul, California which is a 35-40 minute drive to downtown and drove in every day to sightsee. We didn't spend much on parking. Maybe about $5-6/day. We did spend money on fuel but there is also the option to take public transportation into the city from the suburbs. We opted to drive because we had the dog with us. 

We also did a lot of walking, sight-seeing and window shopping. We ate before we left the campground and brought lots of snack with us to avoid eating out. We also used the Uniguide app so we could learn about the history of the city without spending money on a guided tour. 

Because we are trying to see as much as possible in a very short amount of time, staying on budget is crucial. What are your money saving tips while traveling?
