Super Saver

I am doing this post for two reasons. First, because I just booked a vacation to Disneyland for our family in April and secondly, because there are some of my blogging friends who love a great bargain. I love a great bargain too but I am unwilling to shop around for one. I wanted them to be proud of me.

I have booked round trip airfare, a rental car and hotel room for 5 nights for under $1000!

I know, I should do this for a living. I am so excited. I think Nolan has heard enough about it to last a lifetime. I struggle to spend money on these kinds of things. We had gotten a good tax return but the Scott O'Brien (that's my dad, he's great with money) in me thought we should just save it. Then I thought, this country needs me to put this money back into the economy. I didn't want to be un-American, so I went for it.

I found us a room (it has a separate living room, which makes me very happy) for $79 a night. I googled promotion codes and found just what I needed. I took my room down to $63 a night. We've stayed there before, no frills, but clean and comfortable. I was so excited. It became a mission to find good deals. I went to priceline.com and named my price.... $18 a day for a compact rental car!! I also found a coupon for a double upgrade on the rental. Flights are very affordable on Jet Blue at $49. We also booked the day after some of the Disney price increases stop due to the end of the spring break season.

Take that my coupon clipping friends! I now see why you have so much fun doing this. Granted, I have spent countless hours on this project. Just took time away from my facebook addiction. Cannot wait to go.

Now if I can just find a coupon for this shirt, I'll be set!!!
