El Cheapo

I have but one motto in my life. I splurge on three things and three things alone. Number one, toilet paper. Number two, food. Number three, shoes. Anything else and I am cutting coupons, hunting bargains, haggling and hassling until I get my deal. Some may call it frugality (and aren't they sweet!). I prefer "El Cheapo." There is something very satisfying, very I-sleep-better-at-night, and very glorious about getting a good deal. Now usually I don't like to share, but seeing as how this is related to getting a good grade, I suppose, just this once, I can let a few of you in on my secrets.

Lo and behold, here is one of my favorite travel websites, mainly because it has a name that's very difficult to forget:

Cheap Tickets Dot Com

My favorite thing about this website is two things. Number one, it lets you plan multi-destination trips. Say you'd like to fly in to Rome but fly home from Paris. No need to purchase bunches of one-way tickets, instead, you can add up to three destination cities if you so desire. Number two favorite thing, the website lets you make trip itineraries, set prices, and then everytime you log in, it tells you the current prices for that particular trip, alerting you when it drops to your price. Now that is a deal! To think, if only they sold stilettos ... oh the world would be a better place, indeed. Until then, El Cheapo for CheapTickets.

I think its great that you spend money on things you really have a passion for like shoes, food, and toilet paper. It gives your lifestyle a sense of balance, which is necessary since money is not unlimited. My problem is that I am lazy and hate cutting coupons, and I like more than 3 things to splurge on. The website is definitely useful especially for those multi-destination trips, good advise!
