If you are like many families, you are looking ahead to the summer months and swimming, barbeques and family vacations! Â If you want to get away, you can save money on your trip by taking some easy steps. Â Here are just a few.
Buy venue tickets in advance. Â You can often find deals to save 10 or 20% if you buy tickets online. Â That might mean you have to more carefully plan your trip ahead of time and purchase the tickets accordingly.
Follow Daily Deal Sites. Â Watch GroupOn for the city where you are heading to as there are often admission deals to theme parks, restaurants and even hotels. and other events. Â So, if you are heading to Houston, watch the Houston GroupOn page.
Save on airfaire. Purchase tickets at least 6 weeks in advance and you can often get lower fares. You can also often find the best deals in the morning. Â And if you can, fly out on Wednesdays, as that is usually the lowest fare day of the week.
Don’t overplan. Â There is not need to see an attraction every day of your vacation. Â If you plan on being at your destination for 5 days, just plan events for 3 of them and then spend a couple of down days. Â Nothing says you have to do something every minute you are away from home.
