Here, however, are eight\u00a0tips from Andrea Woroch, on how to make sure you don&#8217;t overspend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be flexible.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe key to saving on a spontaneous vacation is to be flexible about where you go and picking a place to visit based on the cheapest travel options. So while summer hot spots like Hawaiian beach resorts and Disney World will be more expensive, other destinations experiencing their off-peak season like Boston and Mexico will offer some affordable options with last-minute deals. Review the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.farecompare.com\/travel-advice\/10-cheapest-destinations-for-flights-in-june-july-august\/#\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/www.farecompare.com\/travel-advice\/10-cheapest-destinations-for-flights-in-june-july-august\/%23\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1467235432944000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHfcq6BvnwNY6XbLdY7dBgc3WEFIQ\">10 Cheapest Destinations for Flights<\/a> this summer to get ideas for your trip!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pack wisely.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile spontaneity is part of the fun of booking a last-minute trip, it can result in unnecessary, costly purchases if you don&#8217;t plan what to pack. Those heading to a beach resort, for instance, will need plenty of sunscreen and waiting to buy this essential at a local shop will result in inflated prices. Even if you&#8217;re not checking a bag, you can find solid sunblock in a stick form to get through security with no hassle. Just remember to pick up such essentials before you depart using discounts like a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.couponsherpa.com\/target\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/www.couponsherpa.com\/target\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1467235432945000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHfHkrOfe0NyKbDGuRDUHr1516kvQ\">Target coupon<\/a> for $5 off $50 through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.couponsherpa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/www.couponsherpa.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1467235432945000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHwM-4Uxme7HIdTN8jiymXvCPtGzQ\">CouponSherpa.com<\/a> to save on everything from sunscreen to bug spray to swimwear cover-ups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opt for a bargain airline.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile flying bargain airlines can be an exercise in patience, they can cost you significantly less when booking a last-minute trip. Frontier Airlines, for example, is currently offer $29 one-way fares for trips between <span class=\"aBn\" data-term=\"goog_447090408\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"aQJ\">July 3 and July 16<\/span><\/span>. Book a flight between Atlanta and Orlando for <span class=\"aBn\" data-term=\"goog_447090409\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"aQJ\">July 10 through July 16<\/span><\/span>, and your base fare is just under $60. Even with seat selection ($10) and checked bag fees ($60), the total cost of this flight is less than $130.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Book flights with separate airlines.<\/strong><br \/>\nJetting off to Cancun from Denver between <span class=\"aBn\" data-term=\"goog_447090410\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"aQJ\">July 12 and July 21<\/span><\/span> will only cost $317 to consumers who book their departure flight with Delta and their return flight with United. The same itinerary booked just with United costs over $1,500, while bargain airline Frontier charges $424 including carry-on baggage fees and seat selection costs. Use Google Flights, Kayak or Orbitz to price flights from multiple airlines and find the combination that works best for your budget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick up last-minute lodging for less.<\/strong><br \/>\nHotels offer discounted prices through third-party booking apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoteltonight.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.hoteltonight.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1467235432945000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGl_H5T5sK8VGX26KXDY3SfQMpmEQ\">HotelTonight<\/a> for up to 70% off advertised rates. The catch is that guests pay for their room before they know which hotel they&#8217;re booking with, allowing these properties to offer cut-rate prices without advertising them to the general public. However, you can specify the city in which you want to stay as well as the property style, like basic, hip or luxe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchase pre-booked rooms.<\/strong><br \/>\nA site called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomertravel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.roomertravel.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1467235432945000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGXa_b0adacZCe9WlWpOYj1KvTJUQ\">RoomerTravel.com<\/a> enables people to book hotel rooms from people who can no longer use them. For example, you can save 30% on a room at the Sandos Cancun Luxury All-Inclusive Resort between <span class=\"aBn\" data-term=\"goog_447090411\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"aQJ\">July 12 and July 21<\/span><\/span> when you book with RoomerTravel instead of the resort itself. That&#8217;s a savings of over $1,100 in this specific case! Each hotel listing features user reviews from TripAdvisor so you can select among properties with the highest reviews.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tap into dining savings.<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the biggest vacation budget busters is dining out for every meal, so it&#8217;s important to find cheap (but satisfying) places to eat. If you land somewhere you&#8217;ve never visited before, this can be even trickier. In addition to saving on restaurants using daily deal apps like Groupon and LivingSocial, Yelp can point you to places with high user ratings and those offering some type of discount. Filter results in Yelp by those places &#8220;offering a deal,&#8221; and redeem savings like $10 off your $20 check.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review advance ticket purchase deals online.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can often pay less for activities and entertainment by pre-booking tickets in advance. For example, you can save up to $25 per person at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixflags.com\/greatadventure\/store\/tickets#dailytickets\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.sixflags.com\/greatadventure\/store\/tickets%23dailytickets&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1467235432945000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGQjis1J8DSdUTEfPMfBCLeE6ufQw\">Six Flags<\/a> by purchasing passes online before heading to the theme park. You can even do this from your hotel room the night before if you don&#8217;t have much time to pre-plan such activities before your departure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ci4.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/0IzH2MPSOXL3GmKhFaTERqtAgirt761z7n3xJsmKMYeQ22f2gqKy99trVA04RehONPD64h4DMGidTXABYhbhU2gBF2IfV93ziwCyz7_Ys7VPWWWl7fQ=s0-d-e1-ft#http:\/\/www.kinoliinc.com\/pr\/couponsherpa\/images\/aw-thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" class=\"CToWUd\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Andrea Woroch is a money-saving expert who transforms everyday consumers into savvy shoppers by sharing smart spending tips and personal finance advice.
