I always buy the odd tin with my messages to put towards camping hols (still do it even with our caravan!) Also when we go on holiday I make up a menu - if weight is an issue than its much better to go shopping when you get there with a menu so you know what you are going to buy and not overspend.
We always scour the internet before we go anywhere to find out if there are any cheap or even better, free things to do in the area. Tourist informations are great places to have a look for leaflets that have discounts in them.
As for the sites themselves, it takes a lot of research but there are cheaper sites out there - we have noticed the prices going up quite a lot this year.
We are in both the Caravan club (for cls for the caravan) and the Camping and Caravan club (for cs's with the tent)Even with the fees it saves a lot of money on camp sites (not to mention 2 magazines a month!!!!LOL)

If you venture to the North East, you can have EHU for £9 per night for each tent no matter the size......nice little site with dated but clean toilets and one shower.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
