Recently, our DealPro Shellie Deringer planned a four-day trip to Corpus Christi for Austin mom Traci Shannon as part of the savings makeover.
For $585, she was able to get a hotel room for $275 using
Savings.com coupon on Hotels.com, $130 for dinners using
Valpak Mobile, $80 for attractions using the
Valpak website (ahead of time) and $100 for gas using the
Gasbuddy app.
She was also given an additional $150 contingency money ($38 per day) just in case she went over. If her kids were hungrier than usual or the price of gas suddenly jumped, having that extra padding would be a stress-saver.
