We've just returned from a visit to see family out in Arizona. While it is nice to take a break from the frugal routine, we still want to find a way to stretch our dollars. Some meals were taken with family and we made reservations at hotels that offered continental breakfast, but we knew there were still going to be a few/several times when we would need to eat out or have snacks on hand. I first did a quick search of the names of the grocery stores at our first destination. I then searched for a blog that covered those stores. I found Saving Cents with Sense. After a quick browse of the best snack food deals at a single store, I took a look around the blog and found a great coupon for a Free Taco at Del Taco. A quick visit to Del Taco's site revealed several restaurants in the areas we are visiting. I also noticed that Del Taco offers a club with two free tacos for joining. A stop at Restaurant.com landed me a discount gift card for another restaurant.
The lesson: visit local blogs and sites to find regional deals when you are traveling. They will likely lead you right into great savings!

Have you seen the Staycation Series organized by 85 bloggers featuring cities across the U.S.? It's another great way to find out ways to save in a new town.
