WAYS TO SAVE FOR VACATIONS THIS FALL

Jeanette Bunn, President of Travel To Go, offers travelers ways to save money for traveling this year.

Save on Meals

▪ If you want to save money when you are traveling so that you can spend it on things like activities and attractions, try to save where you can when on the trip

▪ Apart from your accommodations, food is going to be your biggest expense unless you find ways to make your food budget stretch a bit further.

▪ To save on food, try to get some accommodations where you can cook for yourself. This will help you avoid the expenses that come from eating out constantly.

Save in Advance

▪ You should set up a fund if you want to be able to save up for your vacation.

▪ Treat you vacation fund as if it is a regular expense, and make sure that you feed it each and every paycheck.

▪ Saving throughout a period of time on a regular basis will help you get to your vacation much faster.

▪ If you want to get on your vacation sooner rather than later, try trimming some other expenses like entertainment so that you can put some extra savings toward your vacation fund.
