How to Save Money While Traveling for That Labor Day Vacation

Pack light.
No matter if you are driving or flying for your Labor Day vacation, you can save money by simply packing light. If you are driving, packing light can help with fuel efficiency. If you are flying, packing light can help you save money by not having to pay for more checked baggage.

Check online for last minute savings on flights and hotels.
If you are a last minute travel planner, don't fret. There are several travel websites you can check for last minute deals, such as:

Hotwire
Hotels.com
Expedia

Look for lodging with a complimentary breakfast.
If you find a hotel that comes with a complimentary breakfast, think of the savings you will have on food! There's nothing better than a free meal while on vacation.

Pack your own food when possible.
If possible, bring a cooler with food for your vacation, especially if you are staying somewhere with a full kitchen. You can save a ton of money by preparing some of your own meals while celebrating Labor Day with your family and friends.
