Falling between the peak season and period of low demand, shoulder season is a period of time when you should seriously consider booking your next trip. This means that you may be able to get some decent travel deals compared to when demand is at its highest. Here are some reasons to book a vacation during this opportune period.

Reserve in Advance

In addition to easily booking flights and hotels, you’ll also be able to book reservations at hot restaurants and bars that are normally fully booked. This means that your vacation planning as well as the trip itself will be more laid back than during peak season.

Cheaper Accommodation

If you ever dreamed of booking five-star hotels at a three-star rate, this is your chance. Because of lower demand volumes, hotels often lower their rates in order to attract would-be visitors.

Fewer Crowds

Visiting historic sites and other hotspots can be fun, but less so when faced with packed crowds and little breathing space. Traveling during shoulder season will surely reduce the likelihood of this problem.

When you’re away from home and eating out three meals a day, costs can run up quickly. If you don’t want to break the bank, here are a few tips to keep in mind. Don’t worry, eating at McDonald’s is not one of them. 

Cook Your Own Meals

If your accommodation includes a kitchen or communal cooking area, take advantage of it. In fact, you might want to book an Airbnb or hostel with a kitchen for this reason. Prepare meals like pasta, sandwiches, or salads using local ingredients. 

Local Markets and Grocery Stores

Speaking of local ingredients, embrace the local culture by visiting markets and grocery stores. Grab fresh produce, local snacks, and ingredients to create your meals. Not only does this save money, but it is also a chance to experience authentic flavors.

Street Food and Food Trucks

Street food is a budget-friendly way to sample local delicacies. It’s both delicious and an integral part of the culinary scene in many destinations you can have fun exploring.

Lunch Specials and Set Menus

Many restaurants offer lunch specials or set menus at discounted prices. Opt for the set menus or lunch deals at local eateries to enjoy similar meals at a fraction of the cost.

While most travel expenses are unavoidable, you can save plenty of money by doing your research and shopping wisely. Here are some simple money-saving hacks that will be sure to lower your vacation costs the next time you travel solo.

Off-Season Travel

If you have the ability to travel at any time of year, then why not do it when travel is cheapest? Flights and hotels are normally cheaper during the off-season, so travel then instead of peak times.

Consider One-Way Flights

While you may think that a round trip is better value for money, this isn’t always the case. Consider both round trips and one-way tickets the next time you need to book a flight in order to get the best deal.

Consider Exchange Rates

Because the U.S. dollar is so strong, there are many countries that you can visit with weaker currencies. By visiting one such country, the costs of food, drinks, and souvenirs are bound to be significantly cheaper, meaning your dollars can go a long way.

No matter how big your budget is, surprise costs often find a way of creeping in when you’re enjoying your vacation. Here are some ways that you can remain within your budget while traveling even when unexpected costs come your way.

Pack Light

When packing, make sure to only pack your essentials, using only some carry-on bags if possible. Not only will this enable you to avoid paying for checked baggage, but you’ll also have space for any souvenirs your buy along the way without getting hit with excessive weight penalties.

Shop at Local Grocery Stores

While dining out at restaurants may be luxurious and enjoyable, doing it for every meal can prove costly. Consider buying food at a local grocery store when you’re in the mood for eating on the go or short on time. This will significantly reduce your food bill.

Don’t Forget Your Air Miles

Oftentimes, air miles can be used for more than just booking flights. Consider using your air miles to pay for your hotel and perhaps some meals, especially since fewer points are normally required to cover these costs than getting an award ticket.

If you’re constantly traveling on a budget and looking for new ways to save some extra cash, you’ll be tempted to try each new saving trick you hear of, but these three simply aren’t worth it.

Uber Rides

Sure, Uber is much cheaper than a regular taxi, but is it the most affordable option you can think of? Public transportation is a much cheaper alternative, and you should consider giving it a try, especially since it will help you feel like a local in a new city.

Outskirts Accommodation

Accommodation on the outskirts of the city usually comes with a lower price tag, but it won’t actually save you that much money or time. After spending extra cash on transportation costs, you’ll actually end up losing a lot of money, especially if you’re not using public transportation.

Off-Peak Hours

Flights that take place during off-peak hours can save you a lot of money, but they can be a waste if you haven’t scheduled them accordingly. If your plane is reaching the destination late at night, you’ll have to pay for accommodation without actually exploring the city that day, and that’s why these types of flights are best avoided.

We all enjoy trying new cuisines while traveling the world, but this force of habit comes at a high price. Fortunately, it’s possible to try local specialties and eat on a budget at the same time – as long as you follow these useful tips.

Right Accommodation

Booking the right hostel can save you a surprising amount of money on food. Always pick accommodation with a shared kitchen so you could prepare your meals, and consider booking one that comes with free breakfast, as well.

Proper Research

Don’t just make a stop at any restaurant that seems interesting. Check their menu first, and make sure you’re not breaking the bank if you have a meal there. Eating street food is a good way to try some traditional treats, but ask your hostel staff for some recommendations since this option comes with a couple of safety risks.

Fine Dining

Allow yourself to try signature local foods and visit cute restaurants that you saw online even when you’re eating on a budget. You can always save a bit of money by opting for breakfast or lunch, instead of dinner, since it’s usually a more affordable alternative.

Whether you’re run down from work or are just feeling stressed out, everyone needs a vacation sometimes. But, if you’re not in a financial place to afford a vacation, you can feel frustrated.

Luckily, there are some easy ways for you to start saving money and get to your goal of vacation!

Research

Research the most affordable places for you to visit from where you live, and then find out how much it would cost for you to get to that place, stay there, eat, etc. From this information, you can get a pretty good idea of how much money you will actually need in order to pay for the vacation, which is a great starting place!

Saving

Once you’ve done your research, start looking for things to cut out of your life, at least temporarily, so you can afford your vacation. Say no to drinks out with your friends, take-out food, and shopping as much as you can so you can reach your goal.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bys5xpQolS8/

Transportation

When it comes to getting to your destination, think outside the box. If you can take a bus or train instead of a plane, go for it! It’ll definitely take longer, but you’ll end up saving a lot of money. And if you need to take a plane, don’t be afraid of layovers or creating your own itinerary to do it the cheapest way possible.
