Staying with friends and relatives? UGH! Not in a million years... you want to preserve a friendship - don't mooch -- stay at a hotel. The money you save costs you a lot more in the long run.
BTW -- imagine what you did to your mother's budget. Your meals weren't free -- She paid for them. She doubled her food budget for the week, not exactly frugal
