Welcome to the 249th edition of the Festival of Frugality. This is my first time hosting this particular festival, which is designed to highlight personal finance articles that encourage frugality. I’ve chosen the fifteen articles below as this week’s best articles.
As you read through the articles, think about all of the times you’ve been the ‘weary’ traveler. It sure seems that there are more and more things designed to make traveling less fun and certainly less frugal. Still, there are ways to combat travel weariness, and I’ve highlighted just a few within the article.
Onto the articles!

Companies change the rules all the time. From flights delayed or canceled to car reservations that end up not having a car available, things can change. Prepare by printing out all of your agreement information and keeping it with you, and always have a backup option planned out as a ‘just in case’ to reduce the impact of potential changes.
