Save Some Money With Travel Coupons

Travel can be so expensive. For our family of six, we have to plan very carefully or one road trip can blow our budget. Transportation costs, food, accommodations, gasoline, and even the souvenirs can all really add up. For us, the biggest costs are transportation and food. I can’t believe how expensive it is to dine out! A dinner for six at a family-style restaurant can easily cost us $100. Ouch, that really hurts.
Fortunately, we aren’t at the mercy of high expenses anymore. I use Savings.com coupons for as many things as I possibly can. Savings.com is the best coupon site I have found. The site is outstanding– well organized, neat and clean, helpful, and has TONS of coupons. They have savings for such eatery businesses as Red Lobster, Burger King, McDonald’s, Chili’s, Restaurant.com, and others. For travel, the savings are profound: Best Western Hotels, Travelocity, Expedia, Comfort Inn, AARP, Avis, Orbitz, City Sights NY, and so many more. And that’s really only scratching the surface of all the discounts there. There are countless stores and you can find discounts everywhere. Now that the holidays are upon us, there are even more ways to save as stores are offering lots of special deals and discounts on goods and services.
Of course, Savings.com has tons of coupons and discounts for other stores, any store you can think of. They also have a very helpful community where you can ask members if they are aware of certain deals or discounts. Savings.com also has a blog so you’re always informed. This is THE place to go if you want to save some bucks. And Savings.com is absolutely free! There’s no cost to use coupon codes, and membership in the Savings.com community is free (and they welcome new folks). Definitely take a look. I know you’ll be as wowed as I was when I found them!
Discounts on NYC Sightseeing Tours

Well, I knew that I could find online coupons and promo codes for clothing, toys and electronics, and even hotels and rental cars… but I never thought to check for coupons travel attractions! My bad, because there have been times that I really, really wanted to go on a tour or do some sightseeing but the price was too costly for me. Well, now I know! And you can know, too!
The coupon site is PricePickle.com. Like any other coupon site, PricePickle.com has reams and reams of coupons, discounts and promo codes for all sorts of online products: computer ink, t-shirts, perfume, books, electronics, etc. But they also have a section dedicated to travel, a whole spotlight on the illustrious City Sights NY.com! Check out this page for City Sights NY Coupon deals.

Last summer, I spotted CitySightsNY.com ticket agents. Oh, I was so tempted to take a tour! I have mentioned them here before– CitySightsNY.com offers tours of New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and the Boston Freedom Trail! I’ve heard that the tours are excellent. I’d like to try their double decker bus tour (sitting on the upper deck, of course!). Unfortunately, I had neither the time nor the money at that moment. Hopefully, I’ll be able to take advantage of the experience next time, especially now that I’ve discovered some good discounts and coupons! And we are definitely going to take the Freedom Trail in the future.
If you’re in New York City or Washington or Philadelphia and have been wanting to relax on a nice tour of the city, check out PricePickle.com for a great listing of discounts. You can also surf the site for coupons for rental cars and travel gear and everything travel! Very nice
Outstanding Travel Tips and Discounts

I had the opportunity of researching airline fares for a trip to Indianapolis (decided to postpone my trip until my home renovation is completed). Holy cow! Airline fare is pricey! I haven’t been on an airplane since 1988… I’ll bet a lot has changed since then.
The prices certainly have changed. For a round-trip to Indianapolis, it would cost me $650, with one layover. Egads!! I nearly freaked.
By the way, I found a gem of a resource for airline travelers: the Transportation Security Administration has a good website called Travel Assistant that I found helpful. And the U.S. Department of Transportation has Safe Travel Dot Gov, which has the latest news and security news about traveling by air. I found these excellent resources in preparing me on what to expect when I travel.
Anyway, I did a little digging into discount airfare and other travel accommodations, and discovered a veritable jackpot at http://savings.com. I’ve perused the site before for promo codes for Home Depot and Dell computer coupons. Savings.com has a huge section devoted to travel discounts and codes, including but not limited to: Orbitz, Travelocity, Expedia, Cheap)Air, Rail Europe, Hotwire, and others. Excellent! Some discounts and promo codes offer exceptional deals. It would certainly pay to keep an eye on airline and hotel specials there.
The Internet is an incredible resource for travelers. Don’t pass up such excellent opportunities to save money! It costs nothing to use the codes and coupons at Savings.com.
