It’s nearly summer, and just about everybody’s ready to get out of the house. Unfortunately, going on vacation is not exactly cheap. Follow these five unconventional saving tips, and you’ll have a little extra cash to spend on your upcoming trip:
Cancel any subscriptions you don’t need
Monthly subscription fees certainly add up, and every dollar counts. Figure out which magazines, streaming services and other subscription services you can live without, and give them up – at least for a little while. You’d be surprised how much extra cash you end up with.
Change your lifestyle
Taking up a more frugal lifestyle is one of the simplest ways to save some dough. Eat out less often, buy fewer non-essentials and spend less on entertainment. It might be tough at first, but it will make a big difference. Plus, it will be worth it once you’re living large on vacation!
Hire a car service
If you must fly to your vacation destination, you’ve got to get to the airport somehow. Chances are you’ll spend an arm and a leg on gas and parking if you drive yourself (not to mention the frustration of traffic and poor drivers on the road). Our air transportation services are affordable and comfortable, so you can save yourself a little bit of money and a lot of stress.
Follow on social media
Have a favorite airline or hotel? Connect with them on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to get updates on hot deals and promotions. You’ll never miss an unbeatable deal again!
Use cash
Debit and credit cards might be more convenient, but using cash has its benefits. Most notably, when you pay with cash, you usually receive some change. Put that change into a piggy bank, and in a few months’ time you’ll be amazed at how much you’ve saved!
