Frugal Vacation Planning Tips

Vacation Planning Post by ThriftyFun (4042) | (06/20/2005) Profile | Blog! | Contact When planning your vacation, go online and find out what restaurants and hotels, etc. will be where you are oing. Check for printable coupons, passes or discount codes to use before making reservations. You might also like to purchase gift cards for the restaurants at home before leaving on your trip. Just because you're going on vacation doesn't mean you want to run up your credit card while you're gone. Might as well go as cost efficient as you can. Always remember to ask for a hotel room with a refrigerator, you'll be glad you did. Or you'll wish you had. By Terri RE: Frugal Vacation Planning Tips Post By Jen from SC (Guest Post) (05/06/2005) We go to the beach every summer with friends. I have kept a list of what we use in the way of groceries. Then each year, starting a few weeks before we go, I buy as much of the non-perishables as I can afford and fit in the van. This saves having to pay more in the resort town for everyday things and you can still take advantage of the sales. We then split the total between the families that go.
