I got a hotel room for under $10

August 14, 2008 · Posted in Frugal Spending 

…and it’s for a whole night!  Wisebread posted about the Super 8 promotion, where you can book a room for $8.88 if you’re one of the first 800 people to make a reservation after 8PM EST.  This promotion lasts through August 15th, and I can verify firsthand that it works.

We were able to book a room for our Arizona trip – we’ll be staying in Sedona for one night, and had budgeted $70 for a hotel room (rooms in Sedona go for anywhere between $100 – $150, and we were going to split the cost with our friends).  Since we’re just looking for a place to sleep, Super 8 will be just fine for our needs.  After taxes, the room came to $9.97 (regular price $150).

This is so great, because I’m going to take the other $60 and put it towards the car rental (see my post here on the August financial challenge).  I owe a big thanks to Wisebread for saving me quite a few bucks!

    Car rental? You’re putting your savings towards car rental??

    *lol* Shows how priorities differ among folks. Me, I’d either splurge on a fantastic meal, or even better, use the savings to buy some gorgeous turquoise beads!!

    Hilary – What can I say? I’m a frugal girl :) I just really don’t want to dip into savings if possible.

    Petula – oh, I did a happy dance!

    Thanks for taking time to respond :)
