Ins & outs of van life (Rainy days & low cost van living near Buffalo, NY)

Ep. 246 - What do you do when you live in a van and it's rainy? Join us for a look at van life on a rainy day as we celebrate Steve's 50th birthday, get several van chores done, and share normal day to day van living including a little time in nature between rain storms.

TIPS & TRICKS TO LOW-COST VAN LIVING:
- FREE camping & boondocking (We very rarely pay to park overnight!)
- Value shopping to save money (We get groceries at Aldi & Walmart and buy most of our clothes at thrift stores)
- Panera Bread Sips Club (Unlimited drinks for a low monthly fee plus free wifi and work space)
- Jersey Mike's myMike's reward program (FREE sub on your birthday)
- DIY haircuts (Why pay ridiculous amounts of money to get your haircut? We cut our own or get friends to help!)
- Planet Fitness (We signed up for the Black Card membership so we can both exercise and shower in most areas of the country for less than $20/month)

FREE THINGS TO DO NEAR BUFFALO, NY:
- Veterans Park (Buffalo, NY)
- Canalside (Buffalo, NY)
- Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve (Depew, NY) - Wooded nature preserve along Cayuga Creek featuring an educational center, hiking, & cross-country skiing in the winter. We enjoyed walking the trails that pass the water and were there when there were thousands of water lilies blooming! It was beautiful1
