How to save on summer vacations and staycations

I’ve been meaning to do a series of posts called “Save or Splurge.” I thought I’d show different vacation and family venues, and then compare what a total, full price splurge would cost (and it’s ok to do that sometimes, just not all the time!) and highlight ways to save money while doing that same activity. I still haven’t gotten around to starting it….maybe next week, and maybe it’s time to retire Garbage Day posts in lieu of this new theme. But anyway, until I get to it, there is something else I wanted to share with you.

I was recently introduced to The Coupon Guide and I’ve been poking around there. They highlight different online coupons and ways to save on entertainment. Philadelphia is one of their top cities, but you should be able to find tips and discounts for just about any place. I can’t believe….I’ve lived in southeastern PA for 40 of my 42 years, and I’ve NEVER done the Philadelphia thing for July 4! I’m considering doing it this year, but my kids are maybe a bit too young and we’re having a serious heat wave. But I’ve been perusing the different Philly discounts they have, and it looks pretty good. Go see for yourself.

Have a great holiday week everyone!

  1. Lisa, I was in the city last week, and thought the same thing. Can’t wait a couple more years for the kids to be a bit bigger, and then we can do the hometown tourist thing in Philly. But the fireworks are soo nice on TV, I wonder if it’s worth giving up our great seats here at home?
