Summer Vacation Winding Down

So, as we are getting ready to go back to school, of course all the great bargains in travel happen in the fall. While it’s hard to take advantage of this if your children are in school or you’re a teacher, the week in November when teachers are in Atlantic City (and contrary to a popular misconception, thousands of teachers DO go to AC those two days for professional development), it is now the time to start thinking about those trips. Planning ahead now will save you lots of money. And don’t forget to check out sites like vbro.com or vacationrental.com for a condo. My family doesn’t do hotels unless it’s business, and we save a ton of money by renting a condo. I have done this in Hilton Head, Palm Beach, Hawaii and other places, bringing what may have been out of my price range afforddability.

Looking for entertainment? Check out goldstar.com  There you will find local shows and events, many at half price and even some that are FREE. I also check out Gold Star in places I may be visiting or for gifts for friends in other parts of the country. Groupon.com is another way to save on entertainment and services. I buy gifts for my friends in CA all the time by subscribing to that site as well as the one in NJ. If you go through ebates: http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=mCAJSqd3KAJMIdgS9acTJw%3D%  you save even more.
