Save money on your holiday road trip – via Shutterstock

I didn’t take my first airplane ride until I was a sophomore in high school, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t travel. During the summer or holiday season, we’d pack up the minivan with games, snacks and books and hit the road – these trips are some of my greatest memories. According to the US Travel Association, about 80 percent of Americans journey by car, so make this season’s holiday travel a cheap road trip.

Saving Money on Holiday Gifts With Credit Card Rewards – Dedicated

, , 14 Comments

Via Shutterstock!

Coming from a large Italian family, sometimes I feel like my holiday shopping list is endless! Finding the perfect gift, that’s also within budget, can be a huge chore and I struggle every year. To save money, I make the majority of my extended family homemade gifts, such as cookie platters or ornaments. While they’re not expensive, people really do appreciate the thought and personalized nature of these gifts!

My immediate family (this includes grandparents) all exchange “real” gifts – usually items such as clothing, jewelry, or even CDs and gift cards. I have three siblings, two step-siblings, four grandparents, and a nephew. So this year I’m buying for 12 people!

To cut costs, I shop early and online. Coupons and promo codes are my secret weapons to saving my bank account during this time of year.

Go for the Value When Betting on the Aussie Open – Dedicated

, , No Comment

Learn how to get the best value for your bet at this year’s Aussie Open! Via. Shutterstock.

The 2014 tennis season begins early with the Aussie Open starting on 13 January 2014. The bookies already have Novak Djokovic down as favourite to win the first Grand Slam event of the year, but for those of you who like to have a bit of a punt, maybe Roger Federer is the man to back. At this stage, the man who holds the most Grand Slam titles ever –  17 of them – is currently priced at 21/1.

Now, of course, Federer hasn’t had a really successful year and at 32, he’s getting to be one of the veteran players on the circuit. But having split from his coach in October, it doesn’t look like Roger is thinking about winding down his career. In fact, a change of coach would indicate he’s looking to revitalise his playing form and go for his 18th Grand Slam title. For people who like getting the most value out of their bet, a punt on Roger now on Betfair, the world’s biggest betting exchange, could put you in a good position to lay it back as the tournament begins.

When I was younger my family was big on professional photos – I can’t imagine how much money they cost my parents. Every year we would dress in matching outfits and head to the photography studio. As we got older, and our schedules grew more hectic, finding a time where we were all available to meet with a photographer became difficult. This is when my mom began taking our family photos and making our Christmas cards, a huge money saver. I’m taking it a step further.

Here are four tips on how to save on holiday photo cards!

Creative Coupon Ideas for Holiday Gifting

Coupons don’t have to be boring! /via Shutterstock

Whether money is tight, I want to give something personal, or I just prefer to give my time and energy rather than spending money on “stuff,” sometimes giving a homemade coupon is just the ticket. But it’s also easy to fall into a “coupon rut.” Sometimes offering to do the dishes for a week, or wash the car, just doesn’t whip me into a frenzy of holiday excitement. I needed some creative coupon ideas!

I sat down to think about what I would love to give and receive, and polled my friends. Turns out, in my age-and-stage-of-life group, a lot of people do want their dishes done… but I collected some other great ideas (cleaning related or otherwise) as well!

Here are 16 creative coupon ideas for the holidays: (more…)
