Summer is almost here and for many people that means it's time to start planning the family vacation. If you are looking for some tips on how to cut costs on the road, look no further. (Well, look a little further, head down below.)
One quick tip to whet your appetite: If you live in or intend to visit Florida, there's still a brief window of opportunity for a great deal on rental cars. Alamo is renting cars for $10 a day, as long as you pick up the car in Florida before May 31 and return it in another state.
Before we get to the fun stuff, a brief administrative note: As you may have noticed, I've been rather remiss in writing this series lately. If anyone would like to volunteer to write a guest column, please email me at frugalfridays (at) gmail.com. Also, if you'd like to receive an email announcement whenever a new diary is posted, send me mail and ask to be put on the announcement list.
