Travel for Tightwads

Today's tightwad tip is about being informed so that you can recognize and take advantage of travel good deals when you come across them.

One of my favorite methods for finding inexpensive vacations is to let them find me. What do I mean by that? Well, you can search around online all day everyday and still not see all the best travel bargains out there. And who has time for that anyway? Many websites offer travel deal notification services that send you regular emails with great discount travel opportunities. It's easy, convenient, FREE, and can even be tailored to your particular interests.

Not only do these notifications help you find all the best cheap reservations and travel good deals, but they help you get and stay educated on what is happening in the travel industry, pricing trends, and vacation types. After just a few weeks, you will start to recognize a good price for a 7 day Caribbean cruise, or round trip flight from New York to Cancun, Mexico, or a night at the Westin in Maui, etc.

Many travel websites offer this service, but this one is the absolute best and my personal favorite. This NASDAQ company has over 14 MILLION subscribers. You don't get that kind of loyal following without delivering on the promise of travel good deals.
