Before You Leave

A few tips to get yourself prepared for a money-saving holiday …

1) Research

I guess that’s why you are here! Use this and other sites (see the blogroll and also the sites included here) to give yourself an idea of what there is in Cornwall that interests you and is a reasonable distance from where you are. I have researched a few already and listed my findings below. This will give you a clear idea of what is within your budget, what could be (given the right discounts) and what you will be avoiding at all costs.

2) Start Collecting Vouchers

Yes, I do mean that! Tesco clubcard deal vouchers and leisure vouchers can be used at some Cornish attractions, so start saving them now! Clubcard deal vouchers are available, pretty obviously, from tescos. Instead of spending clubcard vouchers in store, they can be swapped at four times their face value for days out vouchers amongst others – check out their website for more information.

Leisure vouchers are a kind of gift voucher that can be used across the Whitbread group. In Cornwall this primarily means The National Seal Sanctuary. Obviously these are available for purchase, but can also be earnt free from some of the UK kickback sites like pigsback and ipoints  – it is worth signing up and seeing how much you can earn!
