Doesn't that picture look great? I absolutely love the beach and am hoping to be able to soon take my whole family on a trip there! My oldest son went when he was two along with us but we haven't been able to get back since then (2 more kids later, ya know?) One of the concerns that we have (and likely most people have!) with booking a vacation is the cost. I never want to pay full price for my groceries and toiletries, so why would I want to for my vacations?
We have looked several places for prices, and one of these has been Orlando Vacation Packages. While it isn't the beach, it is Disney World , and to be honest - I think my kids would like Disney better! I guess one of the great things about Florida is that it is a smaller state across, so the beach is never more than a few hours away!
While Disney probably won't happen for us this year (or maybe even next), I have a goal to get our oldest there before he turns 10! I figure if we can go in two years the kids will be 7, 4, and 3. That's a great age for kids to go to Disney! One of the features I really like about the website is that you can customize your visit based on how long you are wanting to stay and what you are looking to do. A few days at Disney and a few days on the beach would do us all well. You don't have to do it all - you can be selective!
You also have a choice of your hotels or even rental homes. I am really liking the idea of staying somewhere that we would be able to make our own meals. So much of a vacation budget can be spent on food - but if you can make your own you can save so much!
So, tell me , where are you planning on vacationing this year or in the future? What would be your dream vacation? Archive for the ‘Uncategorized’ Category

Try Curves Absolutely FREE!

Curves has become fairly popular over the past few years - but I have not tried it - mainly due to the cost. Now, you can try it for FREE! Curves is offering up three free visits on Tuesdays! I think this would be a great way to try the service out and see if the monthly cost would be something you want to continue! There are Curves in nearly every neighborhood - Check it out today!
Summer Of Swag – Get Rewarded!
June 2nd, 2010
savingmo
Starting Monday June 7, Swagbucks is starting their "Summer Of Swag" promotion. Basically this boils down to you being able to win even more Swagbucks - which, by the way, can be converted directly into money for your bank account!
At a minimum, this promotion will provide 5 swagcodes each day, and each day they will be featuring a Swag Buck bill (ie - 50, 100, etc)....every 7th searcher will win that amount!
If you have not signed up for Swagbucks yet - do it today! It is a simple, easy way to earn money - just by searching the web! I have the toolbar installed and use it for all my searches....I figure if I need to find something I may as well get paid for it, right? Thanks for the heads up on this program Coupon Katrina!
Happy Memorial Day!

savingmo It’s Mega Swagbucks Day!
May 28th, 2010
savingmo
It's Friday and that means that it's mega Swagbucks day! When you use Swagbucks, you can earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards, Ipods, and lots of other items. If you are using Swagbucks as your search engine - on Fridays you can win in increments of 50, 100, 500, or more! The points accumulate pretty quickly - one $5.00 gift card is worth 450 Swagbucks - so you could win one of those today. You'll also get 30 points off the bat if you are a new member.
I really enjoy the Swagbucks toolbar. It's very thin and I can just click and search - then win! This is not a program where you'll get a million emails from either - just sign up and see how many points you can get! Join Nielsen Digital Voice and Let Your Voice Be Heard!

I recently posted about the Nielsen Home Scan Program, but if you are wanting to get paid for things you already do and want something a little less involved, you may want to consider Nielsen's Digital Voice Program. This is a program that rewards you for surfing the internet - which is something that we all do every day! The goal of this program is to help consumers and businesses better understand who is looking at what on the internet. The more you surf the greater your chances are of winning!
