Budget:
I can't stress this enough. You should know by now that I like to budget everything and when going on vacation I like to plan how much we are going to spend (estimating high) and then set that money aside so that we don't come back to a big credit card bill. I like to think about gas, treats, souvenirs, and meals.
Use Cash:
Sounds simple but sometimes it's just so much easier to swipe your cards than to deal with change. I've found that when I take a set amount with me, I feel more guilty about whipping out the Visa. Plus it makes you really think about your purchases.
Be a Cheap Date:
Whenever you can use coupons, gift cards, share meals, etc. This tip is great for restaurants/fast food places. I always save my receipts from Arby's, Wendy's, and Burger King because if you call the number on the back and complete a quick survey and you sometimes you can get a free meal (or at least a great deal).
P.S. How do you like the new design? I love it! But I also loved the old one....
