Frugal Travel Alert: Last-Minute Thanksgiving Day Sale on Southwest & Other Airline Carriers

Posted on November 17, 2009 | 1 comment

  

Just in time for that last-minute trip home
Southwest Airlines has announced another Thanksgiving sale with dates encompassing the holiday period (travel is valid Tuesday, November 24, through Wednesday, December 2). 

Click here to get the scoop on Southwest’s Sale.  

Southwest’s sale fares may not seem like  “bargain basement” pricing at first glance, but in actuality they are reasonably priced for last minute travel during this high-demand travel period.

Several carriers, including AirTran, Delta, Northwest, and US Airways, are also joining in and competing with their great deals as well—in one case $196 lower—on more than half of the routes we compared.

 A few more tips for getting the best price on your air travel: 

  •  If your dates are flexible, keep in mind the cheapest travel dates (learn more here).
  • When you’re browsing for a specific itinerary, make certain to pay attention to the advance-booking period. In many cases, the airline’s restrictions require you book 14 or more days in advance, thereby indirectly blacking-out the Thanksgiving travel period.
  • Compare prices among reliable travel consolidators like Travelocity, Orbitz, or Priceline.  
  • Always compare fares at the Airlines’ direct sites.  You can sometimes get better schedules & deals by going direct to the airlines.

Enjoy!  :)

FRUGAL ALERT: $5 Magazine Subscriptions ~ Cooking Light, Popular Mechanics, Disney Family Fun, House Beautiful, Country Living, & Many More

Posted on November 14, 2009 | Leave a comment

I rarely post magazine deals, but Amazon has a long list of magazine subscriptions on sale for $5 this week that is too good of a bargain not to mention. I’ve never seen this many magazines selling at such rock-bottom prices (even the 2 year subscriptions are incredibly cheap!).  If you already subscribe, you can use the offer to extend your subscription (just make sure you use the same name and address).

There is an abundance of $5 subscription titles to choose from. Here is a small sample of the list (great gift ideas!):

Home & Garden Interests

Magazine - Good HousekeepingMagazine - Cooking Light

 Magazines for the Family

Magazine - Disney Family FunMagazine - National Geographic

Special Interests

Magazine - Popular MechanicsMagazine - Road and Track

Savings Tip:  Bundle your purchases.  If you have any other shopping to do with Amazon, magazine purchases will work as a great filler to get the FREE Shipping from Amazon when you spend $25 or more.

These make excellent stocking stuffers at this price! 

Enjoy! :)

GREAT OFFER: FREE DVD Movie Rental from BlockBuster Express

Posted on November 4, 2009 | Leave a comment

BlockBuster Express Kiosk

Enjoy a FREE Night at the Movies from the Comfort
of Your Home from BlockBuster Express!

How: Simply get your free movie rental by using code 9pm 
(there is only one free rental per credit/debit card).

When: This code is good at any BlockBuster Express through November 30

Where: To find a BlockBuster Express location near you,  click here*

*Note: There is a BlockBuster Express location within a mile of my house
at an Albertsons, but it was not on their locator map, at the time of this writing.
I do understand that these kiosks are in most Walmarts now (and probably
many places where you find RedBox). Hopefully there is a kiosk near you
even if it doesn’t show up on this map! 

 

Is RedBox More Convenient for you?

Insider’s Tip: To find FREE Redbox codes, visit InsideRedbox.com.

movie selection,  click here.

 

 Enjoy! :)

Cheapest Days for Thanksgiving Travel

Posted on November 2, 2009 | 1 comment

Airport Travel

It’s not too late!  If you’ve put off booking your Thanksgiving flight arrangements, you can still get cheaper fares. New data suggests you can save hundreds of dollars simply by choosing specific travel days during the holiday period.

The cheapest days to fly are:

Depart: November 23 or 26

Return: December 1

The most expensive days to fly are:

Depart: November 22 or 25

Return: November 29

By adjusting your schedule to fit the cheapest travel dates, the average Thanksgiving fare drops by up to $179 before taxes and fees.

(Thanks to  Travelocity for this info!)

Enjoy! :)

The Airfare Wars Are On! American Airlines Offers $25 One-Way to Lots of Destinations, ENDS TODAY!

Posted on October 29, 2009 | Leave a comment

                                   

Yesterday, we reported Southwest Airlines’ Low Fare Sale (read the post here).  Not to be outdone, American Airlines joined the low-fare boxing match with their deals…some as low as $25 One-way!  Note that these offers end at midnight TODAY (10/29) and are for travel Dec. 2 – Dec. 16, 2009 and Jan. 5 – Feb. 10, 2010.

After comparing each airlines’ fares for a few cities, we’ve made the following pros/cons general observations: 

  • Southwest Airlines: provides the better overall deals on their sale.  Make sure you are OK with their general admission approach to no-assigned seating, though (sometimes difficult if you are traveling with children). 
  • American Airlines: values aren’t quite as good as SWA, but they do provide more discounted options by providing a wider variety of destinations and departure/return times in their sale (and you do get an assigned seat when you buy your ticket).

Tickets need to be purchased TODAY, October 29, 2009, 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time to take advantage of the special pricing.

Click here to get the scoop for American Airlines Winter sale, and here for details on Southwest Airlines’ sale.

Enjoy! :)
