Frugal February

Monday, February 28th, 2011

February is coming to a close, and that means that Amy and Kieron’s blog is now full of travel budgeting awesomeness. For the last month, the theme of their blog, Don’t Ever Look Back, has been “Frugal February”. It’s been loaded with budget travel tips and advice from experienced travelers in the blogging community. We’d also like to thank them for letting us post an overview of Budget Your Trip. If you’re planning a trip, check out all of the great advice, tips, and resources on their blog.

Also, we wrote a guest post entitled “10 Ways to Save Money While Traveling” on GotSaga. You’ll probably notice that our first piece of advice is cut out alcoholic beverages. We know you won’t be too happy about that (neither are we), but it’s actually quite effective if you’re strapped for cash.

Happy Travels!
