The holidays are great! We get to celebrate our religious beliefs, take time off from work, consume holiday treats, relax with family and friends, and carry forward special yearly traditions. However, the holidays also bring the double edged sword of trying to control our spending and our weight! Christmas in July.

I was diligent about doing that again this year and have made $497 and change so far, and that’s before my holiday shopping! I order office supplies, tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars, etc… Some of these companies offer as much as 5-10% cash back, which is a sweet chunk of change. See my post on this HERE.

Our rental season is pretty much limited to 2 weeks in June, all of July and 2 weeks in August – sometimes with a holiday or two thrown in. I was counting on an average of 4 months rentals. Rental management companies may not distribute rental days evenly. Do you have a vacation rental?

Avoid holidays and peak travel times when prices can be inflated. I saved 25% on a cabin in Gatlinburg using a code our favorite rental company releases every July. Another cost to factor into flying is whether or not you’ll need a rental car when you arrive at your destination. It’s too risky.
