Yeah, saving money is a silly concept.
Ballpark...figure $1.75/ foot per night from the Chesapeake on down. That's an average on random picks. You can target cheaper marinas and offset with free docks....
But you have to plan and accept strange length days to get cheaper marinas, or go your planned distance and take what's there.
I budget for $30 per day average....using free docks, cheap marinas, mooring balls or anchor out to hit that average...and the last few years I found it easy to average $25/day.
There are TONS of places to anchor along the ICW. Only a few stretches can be difficult but plan well and do a long day through those stretches and there are usually good anchorages at either end.
