ways to watch your wallet
Share a ride – Find someone who either lives in the same town as your family, or somewhere nearby, and then offer to drive or ask to ride with them. Great choices for a rideshare include friends, fellow students or co-workers. Then split the cost of gas.
Plan in advance – If driving is not an option, make sure you book your flight well in advance. Last-minute tickets are expensive, so buying early can save you a lot of money.
Shop different sites like www.cheapflights.com* or www.bookingbuddy.com* to compare flight prices and land your best deal. Then pack light so you don't have to pay for a checked bag.
Take it to the couch – Opt to crash on the couch rather than stay in a hotel. You'll save money and get to spend more time with your family.
By planning ahead, you may be able to save money this holiday season. But if you're in need of some quick cash, be sure to avoid ATM fees by using Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union's debit card at our extensive network of surcharge-free ATMs. For a list of surcharge-free ATMs closest to your holiday destination, visit mafcu.org and click on Locations.
