Moms Q &A: Saving on Vacations
Moms Talk is a new feature on the patch that is part of a new initiative on our sites to reach moms and families.
Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a supportive community for mothers and their families here in East Windsor-Hightstown-Cranbury area.
Each week, Talk mothers, our mothers Council - Susan Masone, Siri Heinrichs, Cristina Fowler, Christine O'Brien and our intrepid columnist Lauren Kim - take your questions, give advice and share solutions to difficult problems of all of us .
Have a question you'd like to share, or simply to review the question of the week? Head to the comments section to do just that.
So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as you start a conversation today with the following question:
Families: How did you budget for them, and how do you find ways to save? What is your favorite holiday family budget?
Susan Mason: We were lucky enough to buy a timeshare many years ago. He pretty much paid for itself. Aside from maintenance costs ... literally no cost.It is much easier to stay in a timeshare with a full kitchen as going to a hotel and have dinner every night. It has all the comforts of home, but no 'daily responsibilities. " It is also nice that we have chosen a different location each time we went away.
Cristina Fowler: Since the birth of our children, our family vacations have centered around beach destinations within driving distances and extended family. We drove as far south as the Outer Banks, North Carolina, and as far north as Maine.Most summers, however, you can find us on the southern coast of New Jersey - our favorite spot today. Together with our extended family, we rent a house large enough to comfortably accommodate all of us and we shared the cost of the house. This allows us to save on paying high hotel prices. We also take cooking dinner that turns, of course, allows us to earn money to go out to eat. In addition, children have their cousins and friends to play with the beach and back home on the beach, which is a win-win in my book. Just before our trip, we empty our bottle of water, which was the collection of coins and the dollar throughout the year.We distributed among the four of us to use as spending money during the holiday. A trick to keep in mind: the vacation home, a week before or week after "high season" saves about $ 1,000 on the cost of the lease.
