If you’re a penny-pinching tight-wad like me, chances are you spend FAR too much time online, trying to scrape a few dollars off the total cost of your travel expenses.

I just found myself having spent over 2 hours on various travel sites attempting to get the cheapest rate on a trip to San Francisco at the end of the month.

After all that time what happened?

I saved a whopping $8 – and ultimately chose not to do that because it would require booking on two different sites, which is a royal pain.

So what does this teach us?

Basically that the sites are all the same. Sure, there is a dollar or two there that can be saved, but ultimately, I should just go to my favorite site, Orbitz, and book the damn thing.

It’ll save time, and confusion – and the money will virtually be the same either way.

So do yourself a favor – don’t over think it. If you compare two or three sites and its all about the same – don’t bother pulling your hair out over it – just book the darn thing and move on.
