My buddy swore by bus travel as the cheapest option... he was half right

I always thought buses were the way to go for budget trips. My friend Mark kept telling me to take Greyhound from Chicago to St. Louis for $25. I tried it last month and yeah, the ticket was cheap. But I spent $18 on snacks because they barely stop and you can't bring your own cooler. Next time I'm checking Amtrak early bird deals, the base fare was only $32 and I could bring a sandwich.
