A few tips to cut down on your Bali travel budget
Travel in the shoulder season : February, March and early May is 30-40% cheaper to stay and has less tourist numbers, with mostly nice weather.
Utilize forex card or international debit card that has low fees: Readily available Multi-Currency Forex cards need to be loaded before traveling internationally, which saves 3-5% as compared to swiping Indian credit card abroad and ATM withdrawals from partner banks are not subject to IDR 25,000 local fee.
Keep cash IDR on hand for smaller establishments: cards work in hotels and larger restaurants, but cash is more welcome than cards by smaller establishments and multiple ATM withdrawals cost more and more.
Pay online tourist tax prior to departure: It will save you 15-20 minutes of confusion after an exhausting red-eye flight.
You don't need to go to 5 places in 1 week: many first time visitors try to visit Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud, Canggu and Nusa Dua in one week. Only spending time in two bases (usually Ubud + Seminyak) will save a considerable amount of time and expense of traveling.
Is Bali Worth It?

My personal experiences in Bali.
I remembered this vacation in Bali, which was 7 nights, 5 at Ubud and 2 at Seminyak. But Ubud was the center of it as the sun rose over the rice terraces at Tegallalang, a cheeky monkey stole my sunglasses at the Sacred Forest, and the Kecak Fire Dance at Uluwatu, with the Indian Ocean roaring beneath. I fell more than I stood on the beach in Seminyak, I learned to surf in the sunset there, I spent my lazy mornings there. The little moments I enjoyed most included talking to my host family, getting to know some basic Bahasa from my driver and coming across the little warung with brilliant nasi campur.
