Saving Money on your Vacation - A trip to the beach - Part 3

Saving Money

So you’re ready to hit the beach for a week or two this Summer. Here are some suggestions on saving you money.

There are a couple of different options when you going to the beach - my favorite is to go with some family members and rent a condo. This has several advantages. One of the biggest advantages is you can split the lodging costs. Condos can be expensive, but if you split the cost with a couple of different families it becomes very affordable. What we like to do is eat at the condo for breakfast / lunch and then eat out during dinner. You can also eat at the condo a few nights. This saves a ton of money on food costs.

You can also save money on attractions. The easiest way to do this is to find some sites related to your vacation destination. From those sites you’ll usually find a bunch of different coupons. A good example is Myrtle Beach. We order a book that has usually two or three hundred coupons in it. They have places along the way in (visitors centers) and they have brochures for attractions (and more coupons).

Another suggestion is to talk to people that have vacationed there before. They may give you some tips and tricks on places to go, stay and ways to save money.

Enjoy your Tuesday.
