My money saving idea - lunchtimes on the Alps can cost you between £8 and £25 per day! If you're on a budget ski holiday then make the most of your half-board chalet. 1. drag yourself down to breakfast. 2. add several extra slices of french bread, ham & cheese to your plate 3. create a selection of ham and cheese rolls 4. when no one is looking, take out your serviette and wrap around (discreetly) your freshly made rolls, and hide quickly in a pocket or bag... et voila, enjoy on an uncrowded rock, with a view of your choice... ALL FOR FREE!

And don't worry about the poor chalet staff whose budget you are wrecking for the week. I think someone once said "There is no such thing as a free lunch". In most resorts (certainly France) you can find a good local bakery who will SELL you a good baguette sandwich for only 5 - 8 euros. And then the people who turn up later find there is no food left. Nice one.
