…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!
