Rhode Island on a Dime

You don't have to be Rachel Ray to find good eats and bargains in the Ocean State

Ask any Rhode Islander and they'll tell you where to find the best values. Maybe it's in the blood, but bargain shopping is a Rhode Island sport. Sure, we have plenty of high priced options and you can live like a prince and spend the money to reflect that lifestyle. But Rhode Island is not New York City when it comes to prices (no offense to our friends in the Big Apple). You can enjoy a great meal here without having to mortgage the family home. You can find just about anything here without a lot of travelling and you can cut back on the stress. You'll find that your dollar will go a long way when you are visiting the Festival.

 

We've asked our staff and friends of the Festival to help us, help you enjoy your trip and ensure that you still have some money in your pocket when you go back home. Call it a wee bit of the old Yankee frugality. We guarantee you'll enjoy these cost-effective Ocean State options.
