9 Thrifty Travel Tips To Save Money On Your Next Vacation

While summer is always the big travel season in the United States, Americans are changing the way they take vacations.

For example, look at the new partnership between Groupon and Expedia. They’re following the increasingly popular deal-of-the-day model and offering significant discounts on travel packages that can include airfare, hotels, activities, car rentals and more.

That’s not the only way to get to your destination for less, though. Try using these 9 thrifty travel tips from consumer savings expert, Andrea Woroch, to save some money on your next vacation.

1. Discover Off-Peak Destinations
With nearly four-million square miles of land area, the U.S. is a big country. This means there are nearly unlimited places to travel. Destinations in California, like Los Angeles and San Francisco, are some of the most popular spots, but they’re also the most expensive. If you think outside the box, you’ll find some really cool locations to have a unique vacation without the crowds.

2. Shop at Auctions
Is your heart set on luxurious accommodations, but your bank account doesn’t match up? The auctions at travel sites like LuxuryLink.com can help you find accommodations, spa credits, meal vouchers and free drinks for as much as 65 percent below the typical retail price. Auction king eBay also offers a variety of discount vacation packages in their travel section.

30% Off Mother's Day Sale on SCOTTEVEST Travel Clothes

Flowers, candy, balloons or singing telegrams.  Just a few scant years ago, those were your only options for Mother’s Day gifts.  Now that one of my favorite travel clothing companies,  SCOTTEVEST, has expanded their Women’s line, you can give the Gift of Pockets! And because those last-minute gas station flowers are so tempting (c’mon guys, let’s step it up a little this year), from April 28, 2011 until early morning Monday May 2, 2011 most women’s products are 30% off!  Here’s the deal:

  • You MUST use the promo code MOM30 to get the savings
  • This sale runs from right now (Thursday April 28th) through 7:30AM MT Monday May 2nd.
  • These items (and only these items) are on sale: Women’s Q-Zip, Women’s Trench, Women’s Lightweight Vest, Go-2 Jacket for Women, Essential Jacket for Women and both styles of Women’s Socks (Walking & Hiking) by Dahlgren
  • If you forget which items are on sale, pop over to their Mother’s Day Landing Page
  • Important Shipping Notes: Now is NOT the time to procrastinate.  If you are in the continental US and order before 11AM MT on Friday with Ground shipping, you will receive your order before Mother’s Day.  If you wait until Monday to order, check the shipping map before specifying Ground shipping, since it probably will get to you, but is not guaranteed depending on where you fall on the map.  When in doubt, select a faster shipping method.

And by the way guys, you’re welcome for the reminder! ;-)
