So with it being such an expensive time for people, we have decided to put a list together of a few tips and tricks on how to get the best possible deal.
We have wrote these for a holiday to Majorca in the summer months so it will be a beach holiday in peak season.

1. When going away you should get all your essentials before you go so that means your toiletries, sun cream, sun glasses etc.
   The reason is because if you go to discount stores in the UK, you can find bargain prices for most of these items.
   Sun cream is especially cheaper over in the UK than in a hot country because they know that is a very much needed product and so charge more and unfortunately you don't have much of an option unless you want to get very sun burned.
   
2. Have a list of holiday clothes that you need before you go out shopping so that you don't start impulse buying which is a big mistake many people make.
   You want to have as much money to spend on holiday as possible and not have lots of clothes that you don't really need.
   If you are going to a hot destination then all you need is a few pairs of swimming shorts, a few light t-shirts, some flip flops, some shirts and trousers for the evening and that's about it.
   Remember that after your holiday, many of the clothes you buy won't be used until next holiday.
   
3. Try to have a budget for each day when on holiday so that you can keep your holiday money for as long as possible.
   The biggest mistake is to spend to much in the first few days because then you are worrying about your budget for the rest of the holiday.
   This isn't to suggest you need to be 'tight' or anything like that.
   Just try to plan roughly how much you will spend each day on food, drinks, ice cream etc and you should be able to work out how much you need.
   
4. Picking a good hotel is essential to having a good holiday so that you have clean rooms, air conditioning that works and good bar / restaurant.
   To find the best deal you will want to book you Majorca hotel in advance and you will want to be looking on the internet as that is where the best deals are.
   By searching in Google and typing ' hotel Majorca ' you should get a nice list of good quality hotels from that.
