The Hyatt that we stayed at

My wife, ever the frugal shopper, got a great rate on the Hyatt Regency in Newport Beach for our little weekend vacation. Normally the room rate was around $250 a night, but through Priceline we got the room for $90, and after taxes, fees and such it came out to about $117 total. That is a great 50% off!

All told our vacation cost us a little over $300 including the hotel, gas, food, etc. Not bad for a little weekend at the beach huh? So our piggy bank savings didn’t cover all of the expenses, it did cover almost half of it. Amazing what a little pocket change here and there can do for you.
