The votes are in: ShopAtHome.com's Favorite Restaurants

There’s just no question about it. ShopAtHome.com members love the Olive Garden.

“I love their soup, salad and breadsticks,” wrote one ShopatHome.com member in a review on the ShopAtHome.com site entitled “Awesome Food” posted on Olive Garden Coupons.

“They have a tortellini that is really good. I want to take my kids next week. They love the food,” the member said.

Even in tough economic times, families celebrate special occasions by going out for dinner, and use ShopAtHome.com restaurant coupons to do it. A look at the member comments for some of the 120 restaurants on ShopAtHome.com revealed postings about celebrating first communions, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, graduations and many, many other family milestones.

And which ShopAtHome.com restaurants were favored for these special events?


Olive Garden tops the list
According to member choices for “favorite,” Olive Garden received 2,293 votes, nearly twice as many as the site that took second place, McDonald’s Coupons, which received 1,273 “favorite” votes. Red Lobster Coupons, in third place with 922 votes, was the only other restaurant to approach 1,000. Rounding out the ShopAtHome.com Top 10 in descending order from there were Pizza Hut, Domino’s Pizza, Soup Plantation and Sweet Tomatoes (the same restaurant chain under two different names), Taco Bell, Outback Steakhouse, Papa John’s Pizza and Ruby Tuesday.


A different take from Google.com
For purposes of contrast, we ranked our list of 120 restaurants against all Google.com searches. Google’s No. 1 turned out to be In-N-Out Burger Coupons, followed in descending order by Uno Chicago Grill, Piccadilly, McDonald’s, Outback Steakhouse, Noodles & Co., IHOP, Hooters, Hard Rock Café and Pizza Hut.

Then, just to have fun with numbers, we figured out what a combination of ShopAtHome.com member favorites and Google hit rankings would look like. This list was determined by averaging the ShopAtHome.com rank and the Google hit rank. Using this system, McDonald’s came out at No. 1 because it ranked No. 2 on ShopAtHome.com and No. 4 on Google, for an average rank of 3 – higher than any other restaurant that’s on both lists. On this list, Domino’s and IHOP tied for 4th place, and Benihana and Denny’s tied for 7th place.

These are the 12 restaurants on the combination ShopAtHome.com and Google list in descending order (alphabetical order when tied): McDonald’s, Outback Steakhouse, Pizza Hut, Domino’s Pizza, IHOP, Chipotle, California Pizza Kitchen, Benihana, Denny’s, Panda Express, Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn Steakhouse.


Pressure to economize
The choices on all three lists are about evenly divided between fast food/pizza restaurants and moderately priced restaurants with table service. Benihana – a pioneer in staging meals that make family celebrations memorable – is the only listed restaurant with an average dinner entrée price of more than $20. Clearly, families are under pressure to economize even in their celebrations.


Here’s how!
That’s where members of ShopAtHome.com have a clear advantage.

Outlet Coupons

Outlet stores are amazing places. You can get expensive clothes – from J. Crew, REI, ESPRIT – for an extremely low price. By shopping at outlet malls and buying the products directly from the manufacturer, you can save more money on clothes from high-end stores than you would save by shopping at low-end ones. Although there are no outlet stores near my house, I try to take advantage of these money-saving opportunities as much as possible when I spot outlet malls off the side of the highway.

Shopping at outlet stores is a great way to save money. But paired with another little-known secret, expensive clothes and other fancy products can be bought for a too-good-to-be-true price. That little secret is…outlet coupons! These little slips of paper and the strings of numbers that form coupon codes can save any consumer an unbelievable amount of money.

The outlet coupons found on ShopAtHome.com offer huge discounts for popular and useful stores like Joe’s New Balance Outlet, where you can purchase expensive shoes for cheap; the Goldsmiths Outlet, where you can save up to 70% on jewelry and watches; Designer Linens Outlet, ESPRIT, REI, Sears Outlet, Toshiba, Columbia Sportswear, and so many more high-end stores. There are literally hundreds of coupons for all types of merchandise available on the ShopAtHome.com outlet coupons page.

The coupons ShopAtHome.com provides not only give you a discount on the already-discounted outlet merchandise, but also send a certain percentage of your purchase back to you in the form of a check: instant cash back right into your bank account. All of the outlet coupons ShopAtHome.com has to offer – hundreds altogether – are conveniently grouped on a single page of outlet coupons. The store names are listed along with the number of coupons for each store ShopAtHome.com has to offer. A link to the outlet website is also provided so that you can start looking through the discounted merchandise as quickly as possible.

This is your chance to get those fancy new shoes you wanted without feeling guilty; don’t miss the opportunity! Go to outlet stores armed with these outlet coupons and you’ll laugh at the times you paid full price on an item.

Dog Coupons

Maggie has had dogs for as long as she can remember. She is the loving owner of two beautiful golden retrievers. She cleans her dogs so that their golden hair gleams and shines, and she brings them to dog shows where they are tested in obedience and duck retrieval.

In terms of dogs, Maggie has seen it all. Dogs have come and gone in her lifetime, gotten ill and gotten better, been naughty and acted nice. Maggie knows everything there is to know about dog leashes and collars, doggie boots and dog Halloween costumes, dog brushes and dog combs, dog vets and dog hospitals. But there is one thing Maggie does not know that has to do with dogs. What could it be, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. She does not know about the ShopAtHome.com dog coupons!

Maggie had to pay full price on all her doggie items, but you certainly don’t need to fall into that trap. That’s because there are ShopAtHome.com coupons that can get you large discounts on everything you and your dog might need. There are coupons for PetSafe, DogToys.com, the all-popular PETCO, Big Dogs, and more. You can buy a pet bathing system at a phenomenally discounted price from Food Saver, and hire a dog sitter for less money from Sittercity. There are hundreds of coupons accessible to you on ShopAtHome.com that will help you save money when taking care of your dog.

ShopAtHome.com coupons are highly accessible and easy to use. The site lists them conveniently all on one page, and shows you information about how much money you save by using the coupons. ShopAtHome.com also provides a link to each store so that you can start shopping as soon as possible.

As you can see, ShopAtHome.com dog coupons are remarkably easy and fast to use, and can save you a lot of cash. So don’t be like Maggie: use ShopAtHome.com dog coupons for all your dog needs.

Toys Coupons

Kids need toys. Toys provide amusement, fun, and allow kids’ parents to take a break from acting as the entertainment 24/7. Toys also allow for creativity in kids. I remember when I was little I used to play with dolls, making up their life stories, their worries and cares, and creating new wardrobes for them: I expressed my creativity through them. Toys can be educational, too: some allow kids to better their hand-eye coordination; some teach kids about music and allow them to create it; puzzles build thinking and logic skills. Although it may not be obvious from first glance, toys are important forces in kids’ lives, and every child deserves some. For some parents, however, this might be a problem.

The problem is this: toys are expensive. The electric music player, the American Girl Doll, the box of Legos – all of these together cost a fair amount of money. Whether you’re running low on cash or you’re just a frugal person, buying toys for your kids and for other children may not be a welcome task. One way to cut the costs of buying toys is to use coupons. ShopAtHome.com offers dozens upon dozens of coupons for toy stores, giving you a chance to buy toys for your kids and for your kids to enjoy them.

ShopAtHome.com has coupons for stores like Toys ‘R’ Us, Back To Basics Toys, Kazoo Toys, eToys, Little Tikes, Sensational Beginnings, FAO Schwarz, and Wild Planet Toy Store. It even has coupons for stores like DogToys.com (for your four-legged friends), DisneyStore (for your Disney princess enthusiasts), and K’Nex (for your future architects and inventors).

ShopAtHome.com toys coupons are easily accessible, printable, and usable. All coupons for toy stores are conveniently listed on one page, along with the expiration date, amount you save by using the coupon, and a link to each store’s website so that you can immediately start your discounted shopping.

Every child should be able to play with toys, and every parent should be able to have the pleasure of giving toys. With these coupons, receiving and giving toys can be a reality.

Baby Coupons

You hear crying coming from the room next door. You hit the light button on the alarm clock and groan: it’s 5:47 a.m. on Sunday. The whining continues. You sigh, sit up slowly, thrust off your covers, and mutter, “I’m coming, I’m coming….” The baby in the other room continues to cry softly when you get there, and you know nothing but a bottle stuck into her mouth will silence her. Wearily, you march downstairs, baby in hand, in search of a bottle. There is one on the shelf. You fill it and stick it in the baby’s mouth. At last, there is silence for a few short minutes…that is, until the bottle is empty. Then the crying will continue, and you will have to find another way to amuse your miniature charge. Does this scenario sound familiar? If it does, you know you’re a parent who has a small child with big needs.

Babies today require so much attention and so many supplies: the bottles, the crib and bedding, the toys, the soft food, the clothes – all are items your baby needs. They are also items that cost money (unfortunately). As all who have experienced parenthood can attest to, expenses for these supplies add up quickly to a staggeringly huge sum of money. There isn’t really a whole lot you can do to eliminate these costs if you have a baby (besides leaving the baby on your doorstep and hoping a crane will take her away, but who does that?); you can, however, significantly slash the cost of your baby’s everyday needs.

This cost-cutting solution lies in the website ShopAtHome.com. This site’s baby coupons are easily accessible money-making wonders that can help you stay afloat financially while raising a child. Using ShopAtHome.com coupons, you can buy your baby’s toys and amusements at a discounted price from Babies ‘R’ Us; stylish clothes for your baby for a lowered price at French Connection Limited; more baby needs than you thought you needed from Target for a good deal; a stroller for a whopping $100 off the original price from MyStrollers.com; and so many more baby needs from dozens of different stores and websites. (Some other stores that offer discounts on baby needs through ShopAtHome.com are PoshTots, Gap.com, Baby Catalog, Baby Star, BabyEarth, The Baby Outlet, Baby Age, and many more.)

As you can probably tell, these baby coupons from ShopAtHome.com are valuable little things and are well worth the effort to check out if you’re a parent with a baby (or more than one) on your hands. It’s simple to use these coupons: ShopAtHome.com gives you a list of all the stores that offer coupons, tells you what percentage of the original price you’re saving, and gives you a convenient link to the store websites so that you can begin shopping at a discount immediately.

So if you find yourself in a spot of trouble handling your baby’s financial demands – or if you’d just like to save some money (who doesn’t), then visit the ShopAtHome.com baby coupons page and begin shopping.

Home Coupons

Your home is your castle. Your feet tread its floors, your lungs breathe its air, your eyes see its décor. You spend more time in your house than you do anywhere else (except maybe your office building). It is only right, therefore, that your house be treated like your castle, and made into a pleasant home: it should have pleasant décor that catches your eye and makes you happy; it should have clean floor and sweet-smelling air to keep you in good health. Your lawn, your kitchen, your bedroom, your bathrooms – all you spend time in and want to be able to enjoy.

Vacuums to remove dirt and mud that make your house feel unpleasant, appliances to aid in making your food as tasty and easy to prepare as possible, and decorations to make the house pleasing to the eye all cost a great deal of money and resources. The cost can be slashed significantly, however, through the use of ShopAtHome.com home coupons. Deals and discounts for a huge number of stores – including Dell Home & Home Office, Home Depot, The Home Decorating Company, Country Store Catalog, Heater-Home.com, Home Everything, Air-Purifier-Home.com, Anna’s Linens, and so many more are all available on ShopAtHome.com.

You can find nice linens for your bed, an air conditioner to cool your air at Air & Water, home theater supplies at AccStation Corp, home decorations at Delphi Glass, lawnmowers and landscapers, office supplies, and almost everything else you can think of that goes into creating a comfortable and safe home. All this and more is offered by the most popular and useful stores at unbelievably low prices!

All it takes in order to access these cost-cutting coupons is to go to the home coupons page on ShopAtHome.com. There you’ll find a convenient list of all the stores and the coupons they give out, complete with descriptions of the products offered at a discount, the percentage of the item’s price you’ll save by using that coupon, and a link to the website so that you can start shopping. All this ShopAtHome.com does in order to make your shopping quick, easy, and cheap.

In using these home coupons, you can save a great deal of money and shopping time. The pickings are many and the rewards are great, so start shopping! We hope these coupons help you to make your home as comfortable and pleasant as it can be.

My Hike Last Week in Allens Park Colorado

Amazing Allens Park Colorado
Lately, I have been motivating myself to hike outside in this beautiful summer weather!! Just last week a friend of mine recommended me to check out a place called Allens Park; which is right before Estes Park and North of Lyons. I didn't expect the hike to be anything that great because the drive wasn't long and the park didn't seem to deep into the mountains. I only decided to go because I had heard of this gorgeous waterfall in Ozuel, which is part of the hike in Allens Park. This hike was easy, which I enjoyed because it allowed me to enjoy the astonishing wildlife and exotic flowers all around. The hike up to the waterfall was hardly 3 miles long, I would highly recommend it for any family field trip! Once I had reached the waterfall, I was amazed and how beautiful it was! The water was glistening, the trout were easily spotted, and the entire park was so well kept! After I had reached the top of the waterfall I was amped to keep hiking. So, my friend and I continued up the mountain and hiked an extra 7 miles to Blue Lake. By that time my legs were definitely aching from the great work out. The result of this 11 mile hike was breath taking! I am just so amazed that there is a park this beautiful that is so close to human civilization! I highly recommed everyone to take a day trip up there! Also, be sure to visit the website http://www.uptake.com/colorado/allenspark.html. This website shows all the trails, pictures, and various activities in the astonishing Allens Park.

Here are a few pictures from my friend and I near the waterfall :)






My advice to everyone is to go on a hike, even if it is just for a few hours! You'll appreciate the amazing life that surrounds you every day.

Food Coupons

In today’s world, everything costs money. Even the most necessary things, like food and water, cost something to obtain. Even though individual items at the grocery store may not seem like they cost too much money, we all know that the receipt at the end tells the real story: food costs add up, and they add up quickly. There is no way to deal with this: you can cut back on food, but who wants to stop eating chocolate or drinking nice beverages? Everyone needs good food, and the only ways to get it (besides by growing it yourself) are by shopping at a grocery store and paying rather exorbitant prices.

There are no ways to eliminate food costs altogether, but there are ways to significantly reduce them.

Top 3 Places to Celebrate 4th of July and why!

#1: Boston
Boston is ranked the #1 place to celebrate the birth of USA because it was the land that hosted the American Revolution! Hosting over 200 events on 4th of July, Boston has become one of the nation's preimer 4th of July destinations. One well known event is called the Boston Harborfest. This festival starts off in late June and continues through the independence holiday. This patriotic celebration focuses on the city’s strong maritime and colonial heritage, and unfolds, as such, along the waterfront, on the Harbor Islands, and in historic downtown. Expect a slew of events (most of them free), ranging from fireworks, concerts, kids’ days, cruises, tours, and more. Some of the festival’s highlights include the Boston Chowderfest, during which some 12,000 participants chow down to select the best chowder from Boston-area restaurants; the annual turnaround of the USS Constitution; and the reading of the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the Old State House. The other major component of Bean Town’s Independence Day festivities is the free Boston Pops Concert and Fireworks Display; arrive early with beach chairs or blankets to guarantee good seats.

#2: Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard
With their sand dunes and salty air, lighthouses and quaint fishing villages, Cape Cod and its neighboring islands make superb Independence Day retreats which include various picnics and parades. Martha's Vineyard hosts a famous BBQ at the Old Whaling Church, where you'll get a delicious taste of New England cooking. The Hyannis Boat Parade in Cape Cod is a fleet of patriotically decorated boats and yachts (with awards given to the best "dressed"). Nantucket’s Independence Day Celebration on Jetties Beach, with good family fun like three-legged races and a tug-of-war by day and fireworks come nightfall. A great way to see more than one island and watch the fireworks from a prime Atlantic spot, is by cruising the Vineyard Sound from Woods Hole.

#3: Chicago
Chicagoans get so amped for the city’s annual Independence Day festivities that they actually kick off the revelry days in advance. Spectacular firework displays, fun festivals, rockin’ concerts, and ballgames make the city an obvious choice for a holiday hurrah. No 4th of July would be complete without a colorful fireworks extravaganza – and Chicago hosts three nights of them! The most elaborate display is set to patriotic music and lights up the sky over the Navy Pier, a superb location with sweeping skyline views along Lake Michigan. Be sure to grab a seat at the Navy Pier Beer Garden, before or after the show, to listen to free performances by stellar Chicago-area bands, which jam to the blues, rock, reggae, and rock n’ roll; remarkable free concerts are also held at the Petrillo Music Shell. If you haven’t been to Chicago in a while, you’ll also find some interesting new amusements in the modern Millennium Park, which debuted in July 2004 and borders Grant Park.



Enjoy the celebration of our beautiful country no matter what city you are in!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULYY!!

Car Coupons

The sun is shining, the water is glistening, the greenery is luscious and thick. The island of Hawaii looks like paradise from the window of the jet flying over the Pacific Ocean. The pilot of the plane says, “Twenty-five minutes to landing!” and you know you’re almost there. In your bag you have an itinerary, a guidebook, a map. You plan to visit pineapple fields and volcanic slopes, to see the beautiful scenery and enjoy the beach. You’re going to travel all over the island and see all there is to see while you’re on vacation. There’s one small problem. You need a car.

The airport you’re landing at has rental car centers where you can pay (rather a lot of) money to use a car for two weeks. You’ve already shelled out your pocket for the plane ride, and you’d like to bring souvenirs home for your family. This is a problem.

There is a solution, however. Car coupons can help you battle the weighty and numerous rental car fees. Coupons for the most popular rental car companies can be found with a click of your mouse on ShopAtHome.com. Thrifty, Dollar, Budget, and Avis rental car companies all offer great discounts and cash back deals that are accessible through ShopAtHome.com. With these convenient coupon codes you can save so much on something as important as a rental car.

This is why ShopAtHome.com has car coupons for everything you need to safely and comfortably get around your chosen vacation spots. So don’t wait: plan your vacation, reserve a car, and get moving! There are places to go, people to see, rental cars to save money on, and fun to be had.

Pizza Coupons

Pizza is everyone’s favorite food. Young or old, rich or poor, everyone can enjoy a good slice. Pizzas are great to serve at parties, at events, at meetings: it’s a timeless food for any place and situation. Your preference might be for the simple, classic plain pizza with tomato sauce and gooey melted cheese, or you might be one of those ambitious people who goes for the extravagant deep-dish crust piled sky-high with everything you can slap on a pizza.

Some people like to make their own pizza at home with the family. Pretending to be an Italian chef while flipping a ball of dough into the air until it’s shaped into a round crust and loading it with toppings is something everyone enjoys. Maybe you can get white chef hats and make a pizza-making party out of it. Cooking pizza is fun, but requires the proper tools: you need a big heavy pizza stone, a properly-shaped wooden cutting board, pizza pan, maybe even a pizza wheel, and of course, the ingredients. All this adds up.

For these reasons, ShopAtHome.com offers pizza coupons for many different restaurants and kitchen supplies stores. Searching for “pizza” in the website’s search engine, you’ll come up with dozens of coupons for stores like Restaurant.com, which will satisfy all your cravings and yearnings for pizza; Cooking.com, where you can buy all your basic pizza-cooking essentials; for GourmetGiftBaskets.com, where you can get a unique pizza-making gift basket. All these items are made affordable by the simple cash-back pizza coupons you can find on ShopAtHome.com.

Finding these coupons is easy and quick; there are only a few hours before dinner, after all, and you need pizza supplies fast. Just search for “pizza” at ShopAtHome.com, and you’ll find more mouthwatering options than you can chew. You’ll see the coupon code, a link to the website so that you can check out the products it has to offer, and the coupon code’s expiration date. ShopAtHome.com will tell you how much you’ll save by using the coupon code, and your new pizza stone or box of steaming hot goodness is an indicator of how much enjoyment these coupons can give you.

So take a moment, go look for pizza coupons, and you’ll find yourself swimming in a deliciously satisfying meal of bread, sauce, cheese, meat, and veggies. And you’ll enjoy it even more knowing that you’ve saved money – and time – with ShopAtHome.com.

Bath Coupons at ShopAtHome.com

To truly relax, you’ll need some help: maybe a bag of tinted bath crystals to soothe your skin, a backrest for your aching back, or a fluffy white towel to dry off.

All these must-haves can get a bit expensive, but fortunately, there’s a solution: bath coupons!

FATHERS DAY TRIVIA AND FACTS

The History of Fathers Day!

Sonora Dodd, of Washington, first had the idea of a "father's day." She thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.
Sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, who was a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state.

After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. President Richard Nixon signed the law which finally made it permanent in 1972.


Fun Fathers Day Quotes:

"One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters." -- English Proverb

"A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father." -- Gabriel García Márquez

"If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right." -- Bill Cosby

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope. ~Bill Cosby

A father carries pictures where his money used to be. ~Author Unknown

The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!
~Author Unknown

Great Fathers Day Gifts:

Summer Fashion Trends Of 2010

"Fashion finds for any festivity from poolside bash to swanky soiree" according to Elle Magazine:


During the sunset of a sunny summer day clothe yourself in loose comfortable, yet form fitting knits that are earthy prints and colors. Examples of these colors would be light blue, tan, purple, white, dark blue and red. Appropriate animal prints or tie die are definitely in.






A great summer top for day or night during the summer time would be a comfortable shear printed (paisley) tank top with ruffle detail.




If you're planning on lounging around with friends on the beach or running errands for the day; slip into something comfortable, classy and compatible with you activities for the day. Try something like a neutral pattern sarong skirt, or Mediterranean beach style knit pants.

Top 5 Budget Beach Vacations for Summer!

These 5 beaches are my favorite locations in North and Central America, with a special should out to Brazil. They are in safe communities, with great accomodations, and cheap airfare! Not to mention, you can do a variety of fun and different activities on the breathtaking beaches, for breathtaking prices!



1)Tulum, Mexico
An hour drive south of Cancun, Playa del Carmen was a haven for the backpacking sect back in the '70s and '80s. Then large all-inclusive resorts started gobbling up all the real estate along the pearly white sands of Playacar and the budget traveler was pushed out. In actuality, they only headed south a wee bit to the town of Tulum. Best known for its Mayan ruins, Tulum has that same beachfront view at budget prices. For food, head to Charlie's, an affordable Mexican joint on Main Street. If all you want is a clean room with a shower on the beach, opt for Cabanas Tulum, which runs as low as $60 a night. Posada Dos Ceibas is more upscale, with its own restaurant and daily yoga on the beach, but prices remain as low as $70 a night.

2)Negril, Jamaica
In the height of the day, Negril's glorious seven-mile stretch of sand is strewn with bodies. Chill with a thick book as locals approach you selling their wares—pineapple sliced fresh, ganja, a massage. For happy hour, folks make the trek to Rick's to watch the sun set and the Acapulco-style divers jump off the cliffs. You can have those sunsets to yourself at the nearby Rockhouse, a stylish boutique hotel where bungalows are carved into the rock. Prices start at $125 a night. If you want to stay on the beach, it's hard to beat the price of White Sands, which will run you a low $74 a night, with kitchenette, in high season


3) Destin, Florida
The Florida Panhandle is a coveted place that Southerners would prefer to keep to themselves. With a 100-mile stretch of sugary sand that fronts the Gulf of Mexico, and a fair share of golf and tennis, who can blame them? In Destin, the heart of the Panhandle, wake up early in the morning and take a stroll with the pelicans and sandpipers on the beach just as the fishing boats head out to sea. Feel free to join them and drop your own line to catch snapper and grouper. Later, discuss your day's adventure at one of Destin's dockside cafés. The blues and country music is always live and the fish and oysters always fresh. Stay at the relatively new Wingate where room prices, with continental breakfast, are in the double digits.

4) Huntington Beach, California
Most folks equate Orange County, California, with chi-chi Laguna Beach and all the celebs and young retirees who reside here. Yet, just a wee bit north of Laguna is the far more affordable Huntington Beach, popular with the surfer crowd. Make the International Surfing Museum your first stop and then see if any hot doggers are doing their stuff over by the pier. It won't be hard to find your own slice of paradise since Huntington Beach boasts eight miles of uninterrupted waterfront. Stay across from the beach, on the Pacific Coast Highway, at the Sun n' Sands Motel where rooms start at $129 a night in summer and the restaurants in town are just a short walk away

5)Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Let the affluent spend gobs of money on the Pacific coast at familiar resorts like the Marriott and Four Seasons, while travelers in the know follow the surfers to the Caribbean coast of this Central American country. At Puerto Viejo, you can walk on deserted beaches all the way south to Panama. The town has a laid-back, international appeal, with top-notch South American, Costa Rican, and Italian food. South of town, there are a number of bungalow-laden lodgings within easy walking distance to the beach, where rooms rarely exceed $75 a night. Check out La Costa de Papito or Playa Chiquita Lodge.



How can anyone resist beaches that sounds like paradise for an affordable price!!
Makes me miss the beach already.......
