The Economy, how are you dealing with it?

Betsy Dwyer - Monday, July 21, 2008

For all you freelancers out there, here are some tips, during these trying economic times, to save money. A lot of the items you pay for are not covered when flying. Yes, you can file them with your taxes as expenses, but you can try to cut back while doing these things. You may have to fly to your aircraft. It is cheaper to first go to individual airline sites, more carrier are offering exclusive deals to avoid paying broker fees to orbitz or travelocity. Sign up for fare alerts out of your local airport. There is a site called www.airfarewatchdog.com or www.farecompare.com. Fridays and Sundays are the priciest days to fly. 

To price shop for gas, go to www.gasbuddy.com, you can enter your travel route, and they will tell you where to find cheap gas. Also certain credit cards, like the Discover open road card will offer 5% rebates on gas and maintenance purchases. As far as cheaper meals, you can go to www..opentable.com, for menus around the world, with prices. With the high cost of food, i am thinking for my household, of BJs or COSTCO. I have never seen the economy this bad, lets hope it ends soon.
