Suggestions For a Holiday on a Budget
October 16, 2009
In the northern hemisphere as the days grow short, the nights grow long, and the holiday seasons begin. We have allowed the media and savvy marketers to lure us into the need to buy and spend on food for parties, decorations to “put us in the mood,” and gifts that go way beyond family. Why even your local banks offer Christmas savings accounts just to make sure your budget can handle the onslaught of expenses. Can you merge the materialism of the holiday season with limited finances while still planning for better use of your money? Here are some suggested ways to save or spend wisely on entertaining, decorating, and gift buying.
In recent years we have chosen to entertain with conveniences. We use disposable plates and cups because it makes cleanup a breeze. You could appreciate a savings if you use your own plates and cups. Yes, you will have to wash but most have a dishwasher that makes that job a breeze. Also, when entertaining try to serving soda out of the 2 liter bottles and do not use cans. Often cans are not fully drunk; they may be placed down and forgotten. Besides, just like at the fast food places there is usually more ice in a drink than the liquid itself. This method will save dollars in beverage cost and might allow you to have more flavor variety to offer. Read more
Three Top Time Saving Travel Tips
October 16, 2009
There are many different travel tips to help you plan just about any vacation or business trip you want but today I will just give you the three that came to mind today.
Travel Tip #1 – To Save Both Time And Money Use The Internet To Your Advantage.
Now days, you can use the internet to see almost any vacation destination virtually, so you can see for yourself if the place is right for you. Campgrounds, resorts, hotels, and tour companies have their own websites, so you can see ahead of time what features, amenities, and services are offered at a glance. Use the power of the internet to your advantage, and make travel plans a breeze.
Travel Tip #2 – Plan Ahead.
So many people wait until the last minute, that they often end up with some vacation they aren’t happy with. If you plan ahead, book hotel or accommodations early, you can be assured that you will have a fantastic vacation. Going along with that, thinking out of the box can help you a lot. Think of alternatives to a traditional hotel stay, like a vacation apartment, or even some all inclusive resort. You may find this much cheaper than a traditional hotel stay, where you still have to worry about meals, and privacy. Read more

Travel With Kids on a Budget
September 18, 2009
Of course you can travel just about anywhere with your kids on a budget. Like any travel experience on a budget you need to research and plan well to make the most of your travel dollar. Many places, however, are family or kid friendly and will throw in added extras for the children. So whether you intend traveling at home or abroad, look for places that will cater to your family’s needs.
RV trips are a great way to travel on a budget. In fact, traveling with a car is almost essential for families. It is usually cheaper than buying rail passes or catching taxis everywhere. But more importantly, it gives you that ‘door to door’ freedom that is necessary when traveling with kids.
If you are traveling overseas, have you considered staying in a hostel with your family? This is a much cheaper option than staying in hotels and many hostels are family friendly and have no age limit (except in Bavaria where you can’t be older than twenty six). You can request a room with enough bunk beds to accommodate your family and you can cook your meals in the communal kitchen. Huge savings to be made! Read more
Saving Tips When Traveling in a Group
September 18, 2009
A group traveling is a wanted commodity and because of this you can secure great deals for your group. But as always, beware of any hidden ‘extras’ such as cancellation policies and preferred partners when stepping outside the package. Be prepared to shop around for the best deal.
Here are some tips for the traveling group on a budget:
1. travel insurance can be bought through some companies where savings can be ten percent or more. A group usually consists of four or more. Contact a number of travel insurance agencies and compare quotes.
2. Pack as many people as you can into your hotel room (keeping it legal). The more heads in the room, the higher the number to divide the cost by.
3. Renting a car when traveling in a group of four is usually cheaper than buying travel passes – and more convenient. Read more
