Don't have the money or want to spend the money traveling for a vacation? There's lots of free and frugal entertainment to be found in many places!!! Investigate your local options. - Bowling - If you go on Sunday mornings before noon, the games are usually $1-2 each in my area. Sometimes...

do you prefer to : 1. relax & stay in the hotel room a lot, lounge by the pool or.. 2. go sightseeing, walk as much as you can until you're super exhausted visiting 6-10 places in a day cramming your itinerary? I'm definetely number 1! My daily life is already hectic with long work hours &...

Please help me make a decision. I purchased a groupon deal last year for a week long resort vacation for just $400. That is a total bargain seeing as how the 6 of us won't fit in a regular hotel room. I was so excited about this vacation as we rarely go on them. There were so many options at...

Well, after being married almost 12 years, my wife and I are finally going on a "honeymoon". We haven't really gone on any sort of vacation to speak of, other than driving out to Calgary for a friend's wedding. We've been to family gatherings and camping quite a few times, but haven't hopped...

On our. Way to mackinac island. Whoo hoo

Okay guys, I'm gonna need some "tough love" the next 3 weeks while we're traveling around on vacation. I find when I'm in a good mood I tend to let down my guard and spend money. Plus we're going to be around the kids. And I love to spend money on them! It's now or when I die. I choose now...

Each summer we rent an apartment, condo or house at the beach. I try to make most meals to keep cost down. I plan a tentative menu and shopping list. I take whatever I can from home to keep cost down and make a list to shop from when we get there. Here's this year's menu: Saturday...

Well we haven't gone on vacation and I was already up last night worrying about the cost and impact on our savings for a new kitchen. We've put the kitchen off a year to go see the girls this year. They live >1500 miles away. So I got up after midnight(!) and did a quick rundown of a new...

I don't think we have an upper limit when it comes to $$$/gallon. We've waited too long to be able to travel. Although if it goes over $10/gallon, I suppose we'd have to give some thought to canceling. We travel with our dogs so we don't have to pay kennel fees, and so our special needs dog...

My family and I will be traveling to San Francisco this June. The main reason we are going is for a music festival that my husband wanted to attend. We have already paid for the tickets for the festival. (Cash, not credit, yay!) Now I am trying to figure out lodging. Because we are bringing our...

DH and I decided that this summer we are going to go on a vacation. I know it's not the most frugal thing to do, but with our tax return we will be able to knock out a bunch of debt and I just got a promotion with much better pay. That being said, DD is 3 and I will be about 6 months pregnant...

On Friday we leave for atlantic city!!! DH and I both love poker and not to toot my own horn but I am pretty good at it. We both play in 2 poker leagues which once a week a whole bunch of people meet up and play poker for free. Every 3 months if you beat everyone you get a $100 voucher to play...

For those of us that work outside of the home, do you schedule your vacation time (assuming you get vacation days) for when your kids are out of school for the summer, or do you take the family on vacation during the school year? As a teacher, I'm off when the kids are off, however, we have a...

A vacation can be a lot of fun. It can also be very expensive, although it does not have to be. There are many ways to cut costs on a vacation, but even the most conscientious cost cutters are sometimes guilty of throwing away money needlessly. It’s easy to waste money on vacation. You get in...
