Blog to Watch: Cities on the Cheap

Travel Blog  •  Eva Holland  •  03.17.09 | 10:27 AM ET

The site—which got its start simply as Atlanta on the Cheap—now covers the latest bargains and budget shortcuts in 30-plus locations across the U.S. and Canada. The emphasis so far seems to be on the Sunbelt, and on kid-friendly destinations (there’s an entire Disney on the Cheap page), but if those aren’t your bag, don’t despair: Cities on the Cheap is still expanding.

Thank you Travel Channel.  Many people are feeling the money pinch.  This article is particularly pertinent.

There are a lot of On The Cheap sites other than just in the Sunbelt—we’re running two in Hawaii (honoluluonthecheap.com and bigislandonthecheap.com). I want to add that many of the On The Cheap sites are having contests with great prizes right now because it’s our big launch week. Thanks for the mention!

Thanks so much for the mention!  Philly is already up and running for the NE, and the Jersey shore is coming soon.
