With school out and everyone getting ready for their vacation, here are 10 ways for you to save money this summer.
- Save for your vacation. Like anything else, saving in advance instead of using credit will save you money by earning interest instead of paying interest.
- Check out websites such as Expedia and Sell Off Vacations for deals on hotels, attractions and cruises.
- Before committing to any offers on the sites above, compare to what you can get direct from the airlines and hotels to confirm it’s a better price.
- Use Trip Advisor to compare hotels. This site has many reviews for each hotel and you can find out which is the best for your spending budget.
- Look for coupons on the websites of attractions or restaurants you plan to visit. Almost every zoo, museum or amusement park has discount coupons on it’s web site.
- Are you a member of the CAA or AAA? These memberships can get your further discounts on hotels and rental cars. Stop in your local branch before you go and get free maps and travel brochures.
- Pack efficiently. Don’t bring more clothes than you really need and roll your clothes so they fit into less bags. With many airlines charging for extra bags, this can be an easy way to save money. At the same time though, don’t over stuff a large bag as it will put you over the airline’s weight limits and they’ll charge extra for that as well.
- If going to a beach destination, have a look at all inclusive resorts. With food, drinks and the many activities included, this will save you from constantly pulling out your wallet throughout your vacation.
- Going to an amusement park? You might want to bring some snacks and bottled drinks in a backpack or purse. The prices at the parks are amazingly expensive.
- Travel in the off season. Not only can this save you money on airfare and hotels, but the crowds will be smaller at most places you visit.

These are all fantastic tips! When we go on vacation, we usually stay at a cottage or villa that is equipped with a kitchen. That way, we can eat in at least half of the time, which saves us plenty of money. When we do eat out, coupons are the way to go.
