Another blog post by Mr. Deals… Mrs. Deals just gave me a stern talking to, a really stern talking to. “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “It’s like you just threw away $180.” Blah blah blah blah. After I apologized and admitted I screwed up (most wives tend to appreciate this, but not in this case),…
For those of you that might not remember me, I am Mr. Deals, the better half of the owner of this blog :-). Awhile back, I actually had a Sunday column and I must say, I think I was a key part of the growth of this little blog (yes, I’m patting myself on the…
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… It’s no secret that Mrs. Deals is a huge fan of the Southwest Companion Pass. It’s allowed us to travel around the US for so cheap over the past few years and most recently allowed us to fly down to Aruba during one of the busiest times of year…
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… I think I’ve found my new travel buddy. Her name is Baby Deals, she’s just past 18 months old, and wow, does she make getting through the airport a breeze. I’m not talking about for a domestic flight either, I’m talking about for an international jaunt. We even got…
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… My parents happen to be in town for a few days before everyone embarks on their holiday travels for the year. Truth be told they just wanted to see little baby deals before we hit the travel circuit with her at the end of the month. At dinner last…
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… First off, I should tell you the Mrs. Deals explicitly gave me the week off last week as she was very busy preparing for her favorite day of the year, Black Friday. I would like to thank my mom for the text last Sunday: “Where’s Mr. Deals blog post?”…
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… First item to go in Mr. Deals suitcase, a pair of board-shorts. Comment Mr. Deals receives from Mrs. Deals upon beginning packing: “Why do you always bring a bathing suit?!” Lets face it, with hotels all trying to outdo one another these days you never really know when you…
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… A guy walks into a Cadillac dealership. He’s in his young 30’s, he’s got long shaggy hair, is unshaven (probably hasn’t shaved for 3-4 days), his sideburns are a little longer than the norm, he’s wearing his “weekend jeans” and a patagonia jacket. The sales guys look at him…
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… I’d like to address an ongoing problem I’ve found at hotels over the years. It might not be something everyone notices, but I’ve noticed it far too many times and most recently on a trip Mrs. Deals and I took. While Mrs. Deals and I were in Vegas, staying…
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… With baby deals in the mix, it’s been awhile since Mrs. Deals and I have had a chance to travel like the young spring chicken we used to be. We’ve enjoyed some family trips and I’ve had a few business trips solo, but those are totally different than when…
Another blog post from Mr. Deals… After popular request, I’ve decided to get my act together and come back to the blog. For those of you that were loyal readers, I thank you. I saw a lot of you in the real world and you bugged me for no longer writing. I can make all…
So some of you might remember my post from last Sunday. My big announcement that I’ve finally been able to coerce Mr. Deals (my husband) into writing again as my Sunday feature. While he does have a few posts ready to go, I first wanted to feature some of his favorite posts from the past. So…
My passion (and obsession!) for travel deals and points started over nine years ago the day I graduated college and took a job in management consulting. I’d spend every Monday through Thursday hotel hoping and embarking on long plane rides just to earn the extra points and miles.
