Shereen Travels Cheap

MAY 11, 2024

It might be negligible in relation to the weight of the plane itself, but every little bit helps, plus you'll feel like a rock star for being able to go straight from the plane to your hotel, because you don't have to wait at the baggage carousel like all those other suckers. Why waste all that money (and gas!)

Set a Budget Spending adds up quickly on any vacation, and overspending can add unwanted stress when all you should be doing is relaxing! Gas, food, coffee, accommodations, entertainment, and parking add up quickly, not to mention unforeseen expenses like things you may have forgotten from home. Be loyal to your favorite hotel brand.

There was the gas, the hotel, and the restaurants to pay for. I bring a hot plate and a skillet and sauce pan with me to the hotel to reheat freezer meals that I’ve made in advance. We rented an SUV for our last vacation because our car is getting very old and the route was fairly desolate. Use hotel rewards.

We will probably be renting a car for our vacation this year. So, instead of trying to cram my hubby, my grandson, myself and all of our travel things into my little Toyota Camry Solara (read that convertible with very little trunk space), I’m looking for a mid-sized SUV to rent for a couple of weeks. Rent by the week.

Saving Cents With Sense

MAY 25, 2012

Summer is officially here and that means that kids are home, people are time off work, and gas prices are up (yikes!). Create a budget for your staycation. You may not leave home (or travel far), but you’ll want to have some money set aside for tickets, eating out, gas, and possibly a night or two at a hotel.

If you are renting a car, spring for a GPS. When driving, fill up your gas tank to avoid running low on fuel when you are in a sketchy area. Tailor your budget to enable you to take a cab when you feel unsafe walking. To get hotel accommodation information, visit reliable websites such as Hipmunk.com.

The Frugal Girl

MARCH 4, 2024

When they got married, they bought a duplex so that the rent money from the tenant in the upstairs apartment would pay the mortgage. Between camping and hoteling it over the years, we’ve managed to check off a LOT of items on our bucket list – including camping in every one of the 48 contiguous United States. I ran the numbers.
