Hi Money Minder,
Do you have any awesome tips or hacks to save cash while we’re on vacation? I’m planning a trip to Hawaii with the fam during the shoulder season to save some bucks. Plus, I used up my credit card points for our flights. Now I’m scouting out budget-friendly yet tasty food spots. Thinking about booking a private car tour to get around the island instead of shelling out for Uber or the $30 shuttle per person. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Thrifty Traveler

Hello There,
Congratulations on your upcoming trip to Hawaii! It sounds like you are already taking some smart steps to save money while traveling. Traveling during shoulder months is a great way to avoid peak tourist season and potentially save on accommodations and activities. Using credit card points for flights is a fantastic idea to cut down on costs. As for finding cheap but good places to eat, consider doing some research online for local eateries that offer affordable and delicious options.
Utilizing a private car tour of the island as transportation between the airport and your resort is a clever way to save on transportation costs compared to Uber or shuttle services. Not only will you get to enjoy a personalized tour, but you’ll also have the convenience of transportation to your destination.
To further save money while traveling, consider looking for accommodation options like vacation rentals or booking directly with hotels for potential discounts. Additionally, researching free or low-cost activities and attractions in Hawaii can help you enjoy the destination without breaking the bank.
Overall, planning ahead, being flexible with travel dates, and exploring budget-friendly options for transportation, accommodations, and dining can make a significant difference in saving extra money while traveling.
Farewell from THE MONEY MINDER. Safe travels and enjoy your trip to Hawaii!
