And that's the Iceland series done and dusted!! Anyone got any extra money saving tips they'd like to share? And anyone now planning a trip to Iceland?! 🇮🇸
how many holidays hello Chelsea good video on how to economise when in Iceland also I’ve subscribed to you so please do the same for me thanks
Patrick Gleeson Thanks Patrick!
Just watched your series on Iceland.. Well done! Love the no nonsense vids. I am now planning to go there post covid after the jabs. Just waiting to book a flight when it opens.
Great video!!
But can you do a video on Norway anytime soon? It is seriously expensive there!
Would suggest you to visit India. Thank you for your tips on money saving.
THIS is one of the BEST travel guides to Iceland I’ve seen yet! I’ve already been twice and this still covered more than I’d thought about personally! Incredible work!
Honestly, best budget video I have EVER seen. Thank you for keeping it so concise. Please keep doing more of these!! Budget related or not.
Thank you, great tips! One you forgot is to EAT at Costco, cheap hot dog & pizza you can actually get to go for later.
Wow! I’ve been looking all over for Iceland tips and you my friend had the most insightful info I could find!! Thank you!!
Thank you very helpful! I’m going tomorrow can’t wait!
Excellent video. Just what we were looking for. We'll be using these useful tips when planning our trip and will check out your entire Iceland series. Keep this up! 👍👍
Awesome vid. Thanks. went last month, cost a ton, headed back in a few days, will use these great tips!!!!!
I'm looking into going to Iceland. This video is incredibly helpful.
Amazing video, so quick and clear
Great video! Very helpful!

Best video!! Love it so much :)

This was great-thanks!
Awesome video! Thanks 👌🏽
INCREDIBLE!!! THANK YOUUUUU
I ran into your blog while looking grocery prices in Iceland, thank you for all these tips! I saw in the comments that you're planning to go to Oslo, if you didn't go yet I can give you some recommendations :) keep on the good work!
Great would love to see you soon
Great tips. Thanks a lot.
Love the hair band
I’ve been to Iceland four times and this advice is brilliant. Well done.
Ah thank you!
We are getting ready for a trip in August. Thank you for some great tips 😁
Hi, I was wondering if you rented a car and the price you where able to obtain it for we are going August 4th to the 16th
Thank you for your great tips.
Hope it helps!
Amazing tips! Just when was going down that I’ll have to cancel island all together
I'm so skint I thought you were gonna talk about the shop when I first saw the thumbnail 😩
Bruno, whilst I don’t wanna laugh, this is the fucking funniest comment ever 👏👏👏
Best couple on earth. Just checked all your Icelandic videos. I think I should be paying you half of what I am gonna save because of you.
Hey, this is awesome! Thinking of going to Iceland and this was very helpful!
It's a great place!!
thanks this is so helpful
We're going to Iceland later in the year and you've already saved us £200. Thank you so much for your vlogs, they're interesting, funny and saving me money, what's not to like 😊❤️
Yayyy I’m so glad to hear this!!
You are an angel. Thank you!
Super helpful 👌
Brilliant thank you 😊👍
really happy to subscribe
Lovely
Very good!
thank you for sharing ,good morning
Thanks! 😃
Hi Chelsea, thank you so much for your series! It really helps a lot. Can you maybe share your planned route with all the attractions you have visited? 0:11 in this video
Omg thak you!
Going to Iceland for our honeymoon in October and this video will be invaluable
🙏
Have the best time!!!
Loving your videos! I am in Norway at the moment, I bought a bottle of Jack Daniels in duty free on the way over, a glass of wine is £10 here!
Yesssss, you know how to do it Victoria!! No one should have to pay £10 for wine 😆
Nice
You are amazing
So cute . I hope i get a job in iceland 😊
OK, now I´ve visited, too: All is true! :) But 3 more tips: 1) If you like camping and have a camper, it´s probably cheaper to take the ferry and bring your own than renting one in in Iceland. 2) If you camp, get the camping card, it´s the cheapest way to stay there. 3) Don´t think about the cost, it´ll make your stay in Iceland really bad.
New subscriber, love the videos so far! Just wondering if it’s harder to get cheap holidays since Thomas cook closed?
Heyyyyy - welcome!! No, definitely not though there's been an impact on destinations where Thomas Cook was one of the main carriers - so Turkish resorta for example. But still plenty of ways to get away for less!
Nice video, only thing I would add is why restrict yourself to just coffee out of a flask? Just make up the hot water then you have the choice of what to do with it, Coffee, Hot Chocolate, instant Porridge or Noodles etc…
I am coming this year iceland
Great tips thanks so much! Great video too. I made one similar but not as good when we went to Oslo and realised all the budget Oslo videos spoke about hotels and restaurants and I was like wtf do you people not cook
tom thornton Ooh I’ll check it out - I’ve never been to Norway and would love to go!!!
Just went to watch - SHIT TOM, HOW DO I GET 20K VIEWS BY TELLING PEOPLE TO BE CHEAPSKATES??! 🤣
Why have I only found you channel today!
Grabs pen and paper
Paldies!
All the rest go on and on and don't give good tips. You are great. New subscriber.
Yay! Thank you!
Hello m'am love from India... 😘😘 so nice of u... U make a vlog soo nicely...
Tell me the route from where u have to start the journey by car and where do u submitted that car...??
Hi Chelsea, i'm sorting my own trip currently and have taken your advice on guesthouses over hotels. When it comes to the car hire, would you suggest to extra insurance (expensive Extras) for things like ash damage etc, or am i still good to stick with the standard insurance they provide? Thanks
Good-infor
Hey great video! Any tips for the ferry? (BTW: I´m scared when people with british accent recommend food) :) )
Haha - I take it you haven’t been to the UK in a while then. I promise I have very good taste in food 😉
Less a cheap thing, more a don’t get screwed: for gas at the pump you need to acknowledge when you start pumping and when you stop, otherwise you could end up paying for the next folks. At least that’s different from how the pumps work in the US.
Great tips! Where's next? Just got back from Ljubljana, Slovenia was a beautiful country! China and a tour of North Korea for me next in 3 weeks!
Chris C We’re off to Thailand in 3 weeks but I have a horrific backlog of videos to edit so you’ll see our first class trip to Madrid next, but then hopefully (finally!) our Scottish road trip from last year!
@@CheapHolidayExpert must have hundreds and hundreds of hours to work through, enjoy yourself and don't burn yourself out! Look forward to any future videos when you upload them 👍
@@efcchris Thanks Chris!!!! You're the best.
600 pounds for 6 nights total?thats crazzy I'm going to check out your other related videos soon-
but is there a breakdown list of that amount roughly? or how much each night cost for you for those 6 days?
Come to India too
Main tip is to be careful with drinking.
UK drink drive limit is 0.08
Most of Europe (Italy etc) is 0.05
Iceland is only 0.02!
A quarter of what the UK limit is, so extremely easy to be over!
Cant believe you 2 have a drinks trolley!!
Ohhh yessssss yes I know, we do come across as teetotal don’t we?! 😬
Do you really need a car or you can Uber to places
Could you take all that food in your hand luggage? I know you might not have, but do you think this is allowed?
Best regards
Does the low temperature affect the consistency of Jams in Iceland?
Didn't test - will have to go back to find out...
Is it cheaper to get a car and stay in hotels? Or book a camper and stay and cook in it? I’m planning a trip in this September! Would like to know if you have any thoughts on this :) thank youu!!
Would love your input on this!
Hi, I was wondering what you rented your car through? All the car rentals I found where ridiculously expensive. Any help will be appreciated
Check Northbound - they’re an Icelandic broker! I mention them in my first Iceland video.
I thought this was food shopping 🤦🏻♀️ 😆
Iceland food warehouse or Iceland food
Is that some jam in the background
Stuart Lee Can you put jam in a cocktail???
You should do Jordan and Russia! 🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺❤️❤️❤️
When you do the Ring Road Trip, do you need a 4x4 vehicle or it can be also a normal vehicle?
In the winter, you really do need a 4x4. In the summer, less so if you’re just keeping to the ring road but the weather does like to surprise you.
@@CheapHolidayExpert Thnk you for the qick answer.
I am going in the beginning of October. I have booked an 4x4 Dacia Duster with Tend on the Roof. I will take some tips from what you said in the Videos that you have in UA-cam. If you can advice me something else, please just do it before it's to late :P :D
@@BurimPrroi Sounds like you're all sorted!! Just make sure wherever you've hired from puts on winter tyres. They should do as standard!
@@CheapHolidayExpert did you had winter tyres too?
Is Jam cheaper in Iceland?
Sarcastic Clap I’ll have to go back and check for you...
Can we do ring road trip in 3 days???
Technically... Yes. But I wouldn't - you'd be in the car most of the day and wouldn't get to truly enjoy it! Choose to either do just the Golden Circle and a bit of the south coast, or go up north where less people travel to!
6 night 600 pound?! Cmon
I've done Iceland TWICE, 4 weeks per time, with HITCH HIKING and CAMPING,
and I'm no cheap holiday "GURU????" either,
I've also done another 27 countries with HITCH HIKING and SLEEPING ROUGH,.
the moto is "the ROUGHER you travel, the CHEAPETR it is" LOL,
and when yer used to hitch hiking and sleeping rough,
all other methods of travel and accommodation are "a God damned expensive LUXURY" LOL,
I have NEVER had a cheap holiday, BUT, I have had LOTS of FREE ones instead.
Can you please let me know if it can be done cheaply? Will hitch hiking be possible?
@@Yoom5 To hitch hike around Iceland, you need to have the correct kit, like thermal clothing, gore tex waterproofs, proper hiking boots, decent sleeping bag, expedition type tent, these things are not cheap, and I wouldn't advise anyone to cut corners by getting cheap stuff, it was a long time ago when I hitch hiked around Iceland, I would imagine its still feasible to hitch hike around Iceland nowadays.
Thankksss, we are planning to go in august, we just save around $200 in our car reservation. Subscribe to our channel.
Using Northbound? It's so much cheaper isn't it?!
@@CheapHolidayExpert Yesss, Northbound is really cheaperrr. We are taking a few tips more from your videos... Amazing
Housemate? 😂
