Savvy shopper? Yes we are! Summer is prime traveling season which means, high demand and high expense. I don’t know about you but I’m watching every penny going out of my wallet. I will admit, I have a weakness for cute purses, shoes, shirts, dresses, and everything else I can’t seem to live without. But a penny saved is still a penny saved.

As I’m scouting for Summer airfares, I’ve discovered this really nifty website Functravel. Functravel essentially compares multiple airlines airfare cost depending on your flight date and airports. Nothing special right? Here’s the kicker. If you check the “Low Fare Graph” and select the flight months, Functravel will produce an average airfare price for the selected flight period. Now you know what’s the average price for the flight there and back and the price of the surrounding days. This is perfect for those travelers who have a bit of flexibility and looking to save money.

Not ready to commit but know exactly where you would like to fly? Functravel has a TravelAgent alert tool. TravelAgent sends you a daily or weekly (you set the preference) email alerting you if they found airfare that matches your specifications. That’s right, you tell TravelAgent where you want to go, what date range you would like to travel, what’s the max budget and they do all the searching for you. Free travel concierge? That’s right.

I love it when technology does all the foot work for me. Now this leaves me more time to search for what I really love, like those new shoes…

This day and age, there are about a bijillion clothing sites who want to get their hands on your email address, only to bombard your inbox with brands you have no interest in. Shop It To Me is a completely different service that allows us fashionistas to select our favorite brands and the clothing size we are interested in. Once selected, the weekly emails will only contain items on sale in the brand and size we preselected. It’s practically our own personal shopper (I’ve always wanted one of these). And if you ever get irritated of your personal shopper, you can login and take a break which will pause all emails.

Shop It To Me is a service that allows the modern day fashionistas on a budget to be emailed daily or weekly (you decide) of their favorite brands that go on sale. Best of all, this service is free!
