Frugal Vacations – Camping!

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

I grew up in a family that went camping for vacations and have many fond memories of hiking with my sisters in the Santa Cruz mountains and swimming in lakes further inland. Camping was the time when my mom splurged and bought us soda pop to drink and other treats like the makings of s’mores.

With my own family, camping was a big adventure when they were cub scouts, but once they hit their teens, hanging with mom and dad was no longer fun. Plus, with the weather in Virginia, camping is always a crap-shoot — we’ve been rained on more times than I care to count.

In any case, if you like to camp AND you like to save money, the National Park Service has some special discounts available, free entry and camping at many National Parks this summer.

All You Magazine

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

I’ve found All You to be a great couponing resource. I have to admit I was sorely disappointed when I realized that the magazine I got when I subscribed wasn’t the same as the newsstand version. (I’d thought I had bad luck and subscribed at a bad time, but then when someone referred to a coupon in All You and I couldn’t find it, I decided to check the copies at Walmart and was shocked when they had tons of great coupons and the subscription version had a smattering of yucky ones.

I wrote to the publisher and they confirmed the difference, but told me they were working on a solution. According to Kristin at BeCentable, the subscription and the newsstand copies will be identical starting in July. She’s got a great site and business going, so I’m going to trust her on that.

Just don’t subscribe using the cards in the magazine or you’ll be paying nearly the cover price. You can find an awesome deal on All You Magazine on the BeCentsable site. 2 years for $18, well worth the price.
