31 Days of Frugal Travel Tips: Day 9
9. Sign up for sites like Groupon
to receive deals: I cannot tell you how many amazing offers we have seen
through these kinds of e-mails. The discounts can be great. Just be
careful to read the small print. It wouldn´t make sense to buy into an
offer for two nights at a hotel that can only be used when you are
working. I would also recommend that if you do buy a trip or package you make reservations and plans to use it ASAP (not that you have to actually use it but at least have it scheduled soon after the purchase). There might be black out dates or there might be many people who wait until the last minute to try to use it and the company won't be able to keep up. If you have your reservation made before you shouldn't have a problem. Also it could be a good idea to only open the e-mails if you are looking to go somewhere. Otherwise you will be tempted. It has happened more than once that Jose and I were just about to buy a cheap trip somewhere when we came to our senses. Remember to compare the prices as well. Do a bit of research. What might seem like a great deal might not be (although most of the time they are).
