It's getting to that time of the year when we start thinking about vacations. Because of our schedules and limited time and finances, I have to get creative when it comes to saving money. This allows us to be able to give our kids the chance to get away once in a while.
Alamo and Social Moms have teamed up because they want to know how families beat the rising cost of everything and what deals they use to make it happen!
Here are ten tips I use to get away:
1. Go on off season. We always go off season when we travel. Especially when we go to Florida. November is the best month to go in my opinion. It's not as hot and the lines are shorter.
2. Use company deals. The company my mom worked for offers special deals to their employees. They also have nice suites and cabins at very discounted prices, which is very cool!
3. Online coupons. I love using the internet for deals. Check different travel sites to find packages.
4. Booking a package. Booking your rental car and flight together will save you tons!
5. Save up points. If you belong to My Rewards or other point rewards programs, you can save them up and cash them in at resturaunts and other places to shop while on vacation.
6. Miles. Use your frequent miles-everyone should know about this!
7. City deals. We will be going to St. Louis this summer and by checking online, I discovered that you can get a city membership/pass to go to different attractions at discounted price-oh yeah!
8. Groupon. This is becoming very popular. Check to see if you can get a deal for the place/attraction you want to go to.
9. Stay close. Going to a neighboring city will save gas and time. Find out what attractions are near to where you live and enjoy a vacation near home. Sometimes, these are more relaxing then going far away.
10. Free tickets. Buy one get one free tickets save a fortune, like Adventureland or places like that. Look at your local supermarket to see if they carry them.
