Tips For Saving $$$ During Vacations

When planning a vacation, one of the biggest concerns is your budget. I am a person who love traveling a lot but I am not from a rich family. I try to do a lot of homework before I travel. Now I have some ideas to share with you all:
How to save your money on planning a trip?
1. Many people like to book their package by online travel agents, I did the same thing before. However, I figure it out there is other way is a lot better--use groupon(you can find this on facebook). There are some packages always have good deal; for example, buy 3 get 1 free. Then  ask some of your friends if they want to travel together. If they don't, then make a post online to find the same interest travelers.
2. Self traveling. The first save is the tour guide fees and the tips to the tour guide. Second save is find some travelors with the same interest, then travel together. This way you can share with the transportation fees and the accomodation fees, food and some ticket fees.
3. Avoid the busy seasons. Traveling during peak seasons means that you will need to spend more than the nonbusy days.
4. If you need to buy gifts, avoid those big, popular towns. You can always find the same thing in other place which cost a lot cheaper.
Those were my personal experience, hope it could help you plan on your next trip if you need a buget trip.
