Duluth Superior, MN, October 12, 2026 — In a recent ‘Money Matters’ segment broadcast in the Duluth-Superior region, financial expert Barry Bigelow provided actionable strategies for families aiming to reduce expenses associated with winter travel. The advice focused on making informed decisions to stretch travel budgets during the colder months.

Bigelow highlighted the significance of timing when planning trips, suggesting that families steer clear of peak holiday weeks. These periods often see inflated prices for flights, accommodations, and other travel-related services due to high demand. By opting for travel dates outside of major holiday windows, families can potentially access more budget-friendly options.

Another key recommendation from Bigelow involved destination selection. He advised travelers to consider less popular or off-the-beaten-path locations. While well-known tourist hotspots may offer appeal, their popularity often translates to higher costs. Exploring alternative destinations can lead to substantial savings without compromising the overall travel experience.

Furthermore, the financial expert emphasized the cost-saving benefits of utilizing kitchen facilities when booking accommodations. Hotels or rental properties that include kitchens or kitchenettes allow families to prepare some of their own meals. This practice can significantly cut down on spending compared to dining out for every meal, especially during extended trips.

The segment, which aired in Duluth-Superior, aimed to equip families with practical tools to manage their finances effectively while still enjoying winter travel opportunities.
